Hi Mark,
There should be no reason to have to cut the plastic tie spacers every so often. The MTL and Peco flex-track that I have here in my hand have already done that for us.......that's what makes it flex. It's been a long time since I've had any Marklin flex track so I don't remember how their tie spacers are. I know that I've used it though without doing anything to the tie spacers.
Flex away, Thom Welsch

Have you considered gluing or "welding" the 2 coupler pieces of each coupler together? I don't think any of the available couplers will handle the load you're planning with all the turns and steep incline. I realize that you would have to pick the end of each car up to couple or uncouple the cars but, unless you plan to do "touch-less" switching, I don't see any option but this or drawbars.

I don't have the track down yet but I've got the train (and a bunch more freelanced) ready to go and running on my modules for the C&FW Railroad.

Is there a "HO-HO-HO" with that whistle or a New Year's baby cry? ?

I don't have a display of any kind. All of my trains are in parts drawers in plastic cabinets that all go to train shows with me.

That looks very nice, Rob especially for a first attempt. I like the light weathering too.
