Reply to "Fastrack vs. Tinplate"

I would go with FasTrack, particularly since new American Flyer tubular tinplate track isn't being made anymore.

Sure, you might find someone with new old tinplate stock, but otherwise you'd wind up buying used track, which depending on it's condition could be problematic with contact issues.  There is no Magnatraction with American Flyer, everything even from the Gilbert days has traction tires, so there's little to no advantage to tinplated track other than perhaps cost.

Personally, I've found traditional Flyer tinplate track somewhat flimsy, (my opinion.)
