Ooops!  Sorry.  What I would like to hear about is any experience, good or bad with superstreets and the trollys that come with it.

I have a simple loop around part of my layout.  While it looks pretty good it seems to be VERY erattic in operation.  More trouble than its worth ?

Super Streets is mainly for trollies or small engines to run on, like the K-Line Plymouth switcher set, or a set of hand cars.

I have 16 inch curves in Super Streets and have an oval on the upper level, powered by two power feeds(Lionel Fastrac wire leads). Also have a single line for a trolley to run on and have some power issues with it. From what I have seen Super Streets needs power hook-ups about every third section of 10 inch track to work properly. Another thing is that Super Streets uses curve to straight adapter tracks, also have curve to curve half sections of straight track, you must use the curve to straight pieces for the track to work correctly or have a derailment.

Super Streets works best when run in a continuois loop with several power feeds.
