Reply to "Lionel "Trutrack System" Anyone remember this?"

The straights and curves, along with their roadbed are relatively easy to find. I purchased some years ago. The dealer warned me that it wasn't any good, but I figured I'd use it for display track. I tried setting up a loop and could not get the train to make a full trip around.

The problem is that the rails are aluminum, and the joiners are poorly constructed and poorly attached. Combine that with aluminum rail, whose oxide is not conductive, and you have track that does n
ot work.

As has been mentioned, they did make manual switches, and a terminal track too. The manual switches came with a small fitter track section.

Not all that long ago, I picked up a lot of some junk box switches and was able to assemble 2 complete switches from the lot. IMHO, they were very poorly made,

NOS switches and terminal tracks tend to go for more than I am willing to pay for a curiosity item.
