Reply to "Thoughts on traditional track options/AF display progress"

John,

My previous layout was traditional Flyer and the rubber roadbed was my choice.  It looks good, goes together well, and I had a lot of it on hand.  I used a hand staple gun to tack it to my table and you can hardly notice, especially if you dab a bit of paint on the bare metal staple.  GarGraves is also a good choice, but if you already have the track and roadbed, go for it!  I'm not a fan of ballast on traditional Flyer layouts, but that's just my own opinion.  The look of a traditional layout will never go out of style.  From my own experience, a permanent layout is rarely such.  With a stapled down track, changing a bit for an added siding is easy.  Much easier than ballasted GarGraves.  Again just my opinion.  Double sided tape is OK, but that stuff is STICKY!  Be sure you're not going to ever change anything. 

Let us know what you decide.
