Choice of Track



After several weeks of reading, and talking with several of the model train store owners in Phoenix, I made my choice of track.

I was told the "real modelers" made all their layouts from flex track, and only "amateurs" used sectional track. However, I was also advised that if I wanted to avoid electrical problems, I should use the sectional track.

Not wanting to build a layout that would not work the first time, and since I really am an amateur, I chose Kato sectional track and started ordering the components I needed.

This track comes pre-installed on a grey plastic roadbed, and has a huge selection of configurations, including a double cross-over turnout that is available from no other manufacturer.
