Leo, I don't know about Mike's needs, but one reason for me would be that my Atlas switch machines don't seem to like much less than 17-18 volts so the 10 or 14 volts on the Z4K wouldn't do it for me. The switch machines just don't have the same 'snap open/close' at lower voltages. I don't know what kind of switch machines Scaletrax uses so I have don't know if Mike could use those or not? He might very well be able to as he's using MTH track, switches (I think) and transformer?
Mike, you are welcome. When Mike's layout is complete, it's Mike that needs to be happy! (Well I suppose maybe the Inspector will have to give final approval as well, but you should be enjoying it the most.) I think track selecting is a personal thing, like buying a Ford or a Chevy or a Dodge etc., everyone has their preferences.
