I've built the baseboard and having read many comments on this Forum have purchased Peco code 75.The next job is to lay the track but i'm going to have to use Tracksetta's. Do I need all the available Tracksetta sizes 10" through to 60"or are there certain sizes I will need more than others. Anyones advise would be really helpful

Not all shops stock the full range of Tracksetta's. In fact I've never seen more than the odd one or two in the various shops I have visitted.

If you want the full set, a saving can be made by ordering from the Signal Box.

SET00TSETTA
FULL SET OF 9 X OO/HO GAUGE TRACKSETTA TEMPLATES
SET INCLUDES. 1 OF EACH OF:

10" STRAIGHT PLUS
18",21",24",30",36" 42",48" AND 60" RADIUS TEMPLATES

Price: £28.80

They do the same deal for the 9mm Tracksetta's too.

Have a think about the transition from straight to a curve.
Flexitrack allows you to start with a gentle curve before tightening to your chosen radius.

These "easments" or "transition curves" make for a more realistic effect and replicate prototypical practise; however available space may restrict your ability to do this.
