Track Change-up
Posted by Jim Hornaday on Monday, April 9, 2018 7:40 AM

So I made the switch from Menard's Tubular to Atlas Track and boy, does it look good!! So glad I made the change. I do need to get some cork roadbed, but its well worth it. Anyone contemplating change to Atlas, I whole-heartedly recommend it!!

I have all Atlas right now, and I regret going that route. Their switches leave a lot to be desired. When I build my next layout it will be a combination of Atlas and FasTrack.

The track that was said not to work with magnatraction was the Gargraves stainless. Gargraves also has regular track that ( tinplate ) that does work fine.
