Reply to "Gargraves track question"

I would highly recomend Gargraves track, also Ross if you like to have a little more detail with spiked rails.

My layout ran for 11 years on Gargraves and Ross turnouts without flaw.

The only track I am aware of wearing rollers would be Super O as it has a thin center rail. I've seen rollers split in two! 

Everyone comes back to this misconception. It only happened because of the softer material used on rollers up to the introduction of Super O. Lionel quickly changed the roller material, but the finances of Lionel sealed the fate of Super O. You will see well run trains on O tubular have center worn rollers of the original material. Most never put that many hours on their trains, no matter which track.

Keep your roller axles oiled, just a drop on either side.
