 027 tubular profile, 034 & 042 curves, K-Line & Marx 027, 034 and 042 switches.  Been hoarding 034 curves for the future big layout - just over a 100 sections now (don't think I'll need many more...).  I still need a few more sets of 034 switches though.

If you are looking for a rare train, ask i might surprise you with an asking price!!! A guy asked if i liked fast track, and i replied i used t-rail. He said eww that old stuff you bolt together???? Ignorance must be bliss!

I have GarGraves track & switches on the lower level, started with Lionel tubular & still have some of that just NO Lionel switches. The upper level has 027 track and switches with some GarGraves track as well, also have some K-Line Super Streets-a nice track system but no switches! Just started a small under the table layout of Fastrac, so far it is expensive and difficult to work with-finding the right size fitter piece to use if you try to use half curves in a layout.

I would rather use GarGrvaes track and switches as you can cut the track and insert pins where you need to.
