You guys are talking about opinions, and confusing them with facts. Sure, it is a fact that many 3-rail layouts have beautifully executed scenery.
It is an opinion that 3-rail track is not as pleasing as 2-rail. We are entitled to hold opinions.
I personally would rather have accurate track, wheels,and couplers than even one ounce of scenery. Others actually like the center rail and giant flanges and couplers. I for one am glad they are happy with their hobby.
