  • ease of use
  • ubiquitous
  • good conductivity (I have 150+ feet and 11 switches all under track power from a single terminal)
  • stable - my track isn't fastened anywhere (not one screw or nail holding it down)
  • easy to break down and move eventually
  • I have 11 switches and they're bulletproof, never an issue

Cons

  • expensive- but if your layout isn't huge, I don't see this being a big deal
  • noise can be an issue- I have carpet pad underneath turf-carpeting so there's very little noise for me but it is a concern
  • appearances - if you ever want a scale type layout, it's not going to give you that look

 

That's FasTrack for me.  It does the job.  It got me going with an O layout quick.

Nice layout - by the way, I have been using sill sealer from home construction. About $ 8 for a 75 foot roll. It's a bit wider than fastrack but easily be trimmed.041343007721
