@ThatGuy posted:The Lionel fastrack is great on carpet, but the movement of the track can’t and will cause issues with the center pin. It keeps the rug clean, but a little service before the set up goes a long way. Tubular track is perfect because when building a custom layout you have no issues with that last piece being and odd size. I also find it’s very easy to troubleshoot versus the others.
I only use FT for my Christmas loops. It gets cleaned and inspected before laying it down. I also use binder clips underneath to hold the sections together.
My layout is mostly tubular, it is the easiest to work with and cut to fit where necessary.
