Reply to "S-Trax vs. FasTrack"

While I like the SHS look better, there isn't much choice here IMHO. With no disrespect to Don Thompson or SHS, they aren't going to be producing any new track anytime soon. The prices for SHS track are through the roof right now. You can't get close to paying retail. I don't have much faith that we will see any new sized turnouts anytime soon from SHS. Lionel has said that they are planning on many new pieces of new Fastrack in the near future. At this point I'm going to put my bet on Lionel being the company to offer the most complete track system in the shortest amount of time. I am planning on experimenting with some weathering techniques on Fastrack. I'll bet it can be made to look pretty decent. So while I prefer the look and feel of SHS track, price and availability pretty much dictates that my new S layout will be built with Fastrack.
