Bluebrick supports full, half and quarter pieces of both the curved and
straight track elements.
If I use these elements in the design of my layout, and purchase the ME
components, will they marry up? For instance a quarter track piece from
ME will equal a quarter track piece from a hack-saw mod?
Having said that, are the libraries for Track Draw available for download?

Nice, I am looking forward to that. As a side note, would you be
drawing inspiration from the current TLC track elements, or more from
real world, or even the likes of HO/O/G components to generate the huge
variety of geometries?
