I have Atlas track (some Gargraves too). I no longer use DCS (MTH locos are gone). I do have TMCC stuff though. Eventually, I wish to convert to dead rail. At that point the 3rd rail is no longer needed. But the conversion will take time.
I get Hot Water’s point and agree that for true fidelity scale rail is required. But, my physical constraints require tighter curves and time to convert my existing locos, most of which have hirail running gear.
So my thoughts are build my layout with 3rail, and when fully dead rail pull the third. Hand laid track is way above my pay grade.
Joe, the drink kicked in. Can’t see any of the rails though!
