Thanks Bruce! Yep no Fastrack here, I am going to use all Scaletrak!!
Yeah, sorry, Mike. I've had nothing but problems with Scaletrax. Fastrack will always be my number one choice of track. Until I hand-lay my track for my Civil War themed layout I got running in my head, along with my Promontory Summit 1869 display with interchangeable eras. I'll use Lionel's old tubular track and cut it with a hacksaw, and use my own ties. Trickerery part will be keeping it in gauge as I'm going to remove the original clip ties.
Just wonderind what problems you have with scaletrak?

Well, it could have been a bad batch, but most of the track I got with this M&M Trolley set I bought for Christmas didn't connect properly at the joints, and sometimes one rail was higher then the other on another piece of track, so my trolley kept jumping the tracks. Fastrack just seems to connect better and stays straight...most of the time.
