But I'd be concerned that a newbie would find old tubular especially attractive at flea market, train show....trash pile...pricing. Since much of secondary market tubular has issues of corrosion, misshapen tubes, missing pins, etc., etc., a newbie could find themselves in track troubles, diminishing their newfound enthusiasm for the hobby.

I would not recommend buying used tubular for the reasons stated.
New tubular is readily available in the market, Menards sell O gauge tubular with many radius sizes at more than fair prices. You can also still find new Lionel track (K-line too) in the marketplace, pleantiful
