The way I see it, any layout with the emphasis on toy trains needs tinplate tubular track to complete the picture..
IMO, there's nothing more relaxing then a PW style layout complete with tubular track and bright red/green lanterns on every switch.
To me, nothing looks worse, then a layout packed with large Lionel PW accessories around modern scale track.
Menards needs to bring back the Pulmors next......
