Way back in the late seventies I purchased a full case of Gargraves track from them directly. They were helpful then. That's when I had a "Hi-Rail" layout. I also had a couple of their turnouts and used NJ switch machines to operate them. Yes, their track is very realistic and to visitors it was something they had never seen.
Toward the mid eighties, I changed my layout to an operating accessory type. I found then that "O" gauge tubular track worked best for me as the numerous activation tracks fit with it better. And as Mike mentioned, the curves were simpler for me to utilize for the type of layout I wanted.
My reason for the original question was that as I am getting back into "O" gauge after twenty five years, I am attempting to relearn everything I can about it. Of course, I don't know how much room there is in my brain these days, but I hope to gain as much knowledge from this forum as I can, before I start buying stuff and building a layout.
