I am building a new layout now.I installed the track but have not ran the trains yet. They look well made though.

I am using them for a hands off automated passing siding where 4 trains run, 2 in each direction.
My layout is display,conventional mode, mostly automated and normally I would avoid turnouts because of lack of reliability,so
It is important that they switch reliably and no derailments. Electrically speaking automating passing sidings is fairly easy to do with a few relays,the worry is derailments. I purchased these at York and Steve assured me of their quality ("our switches dont derail"). When I get the thing running I will post a review of the switches.
For those interested ,here is wiring for a passing siding with 2 trains.

As for the K-Line super snap track, www.Justtrains.com has some leftover stock in large diameters and RMT is having it remade. Best tubular track ever IMO.
