Due to a maJor downsizing, and major move back to Texas, ( grandchildren were calling), I have had to rethink my layout planning. I had to give up my 20x8 basement space, for a 4x8 space in the garage of the new house. Oh well, I can still build and enjoy O gauge trains, just on a smaller scale.

I have selected a track plan and have a list of all the fastrack I need to buy. ( Yes, Ross/Gargraves/Atlas would probably be a better choice.) However, I at my age, I want to get something up quickly and fairly easily, and not bust the budget. I am building the benchwork this week and should be ready to lay out track in a week or so.

I need to know which of the OGR advertisers may have the best inventory of Fastrack actually in stock. Lots of the advertisers have "some" Fastrack, but I need a whole layout full, and do not want to have to buy it here and there, or piecemeal, so to speak. I just want to place one order and get it all in one shipment, if possible. Who would you recommend? Thanks

Inventory on specific items vary.  What's wrong with multiple orders from different vendors all of which will probably arrive around the same time anyway?

That said, when I built my grandson's layout I got the Fastrack from Mario's, Gryzbosky's, Nicholas Smith, Legacy Station, and Brady's.

In the end the delay in completing it wasn't any of them, it was me.

If you're open to buying used, Trainz has a very good selection of in stock O Gauge FasTrack.  Link here

Note that you may need to go to about the 3rd page to get past the "Preview" listings which are initially only available to "Private Car Premium Members".

You can also filter them out. Take a look on the left of any listings page and you'll see Inventory Type as a sorting option.

If you select Regular Non-Preview Items that will filter out everything that's in its first seven days of listing.

Then you'll only be shown things that are out of the Preview window and can be purchased by anyone.
