I don't think it is the track as much as the fact that when you put together and take apart the track when it is track combined with roadbed like fast track and real trax, it is relatively fragile. Tubular is a pretty solid beast, especially the traditional O tubular, and in large part was designed for ruggedness, because back in the day most trains were being either used temporarily for Christmas tree setups, or kids "played" with the trains on the floor, then took them apart when they were done and put away. I think Fast Track and Real Trax can last a long time, but it just means being careful when you take them apart and checking the contact springs and tabs before putting them together.
