i am pretty new to this too, but as i understand it so long as the tracks are in good shape then they should be compatable, i have peco, graham farish and lima track together so long as it is well laid you should not have any problem, there is a comment on this rorum about the code of the rails and the size of wheel flange... i run modern outline locs and have no problems....

I have different types of tracks in the same layout with no problem at all, you might have to cut away a sleeper or even file down the track if they are at slightly different heights.
