Reply to "PIKO 38501 Clean Machine Review"

My experience with original LGB brass track: I have used LGB brass track (inside only) over several decades in radii 1, 2 & 3, and have never noticed any excessive wear on my track. The heaviest engines were the RhB croc #414, the 2085D mallet and its digital sound version, and the SR Crescent Mikado. My understanding is the LGB alloy was superior to that used in other types, and that they used virgin brass, instead of recycled. Oh, and I occasionally ran live steam on some temporary outdoor LGB R3 track: the LGB/Aster Frank S, the Roundhouse Engineering SR&RL #24, and a Geoffbilt two truck Shay without any ill effects. Luck of the draw - who knows?
