I will start. O27 Tubular As always, many thanks.

One lower loop of Gargraves Phantom and the other two lower loops are Lionel and Williams " O " gauge tubular track with 12 Lionel "022" switches. The upper loop is Lionel tubular and Gargraves mixed. The trolley loop is Lionel "027" tubular.
Lionel and K-Line O with O-22 switches. I would like to switch to gargraves and ross switches!
Fastrack on the main lines.
Totally Tubular on the Trolley line, Dude!

Gargraves phantom tin plate with Ross turnouts.
Just switched from O-31 tubular to Lionel Fastrack with O-48 minimum curves, and some O-60.
Tubular 0 but I just bought my first Fastrack to use around the Christmas tree.
Lionel 027 tubular
Lionel FasTrack with 0-48 curves.
THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH.
O27 tubular with K-Line switches. Curves are 27", 34", or 42" on my permanent layout.
Fastrack for under the tree last Christmas. Had 2 starter sets worth of track and used most of it. Curves were o36. Last year was the first year I had a train under the tree since I was a kid. I wonder why I waited so long?

Lionel totally tubular, totally 027.
My outer loop uses Lionel Fastrack. The inner track is MTH Realtrax along with Lionel STD O operating tracks.
I've used Lionel '027' & 'O' gauges, but for Christmas of '07 our daughter and her family ordered from Santa the Lionel "North Pole Central Lines Christmas Set" for me and it came with FasTrack.
From now on I'll be buying and using FasTrack, as Pall Mall's slogan said; "You Can Light Either End."
With FasTrack you can use either end.

I don't really know that one track system is so much better than the others. But what I do know is you have to live within your means and learn to be content with that. And that includes buying trains.
I not only use Lionel 027 track, but am actually quite content and happy with it too! I use Lionel 027 of postwar and modern vintage. I sometimes wish K-Line had put more effort on the low end and had come out with those revised 027 switches years sooner... if they had, I'd probably be using those instead.

027 tubular
O gauge tubular.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And here I thought I was the only one using O-27 tubular with 0-27 curves. How encouraging!
