Nicholas you are quite wrong about LGB track being better than Aristo, it is not. They both have their strong points, ie I think Aristo has more zinc and less copper than LGB, I havent assayed them or any thing like that, just by appearance. That means the aristo will not oxidise as much as the LGB and it will be marginally stronger, but it will not be quite as good a conductor of electricity as LGB. <br /> <br />I am not impressed with the LGB joiners in practice; I solder all mine and they work fine. The Aristo join is screwed and it looks crude but it works, I have had little or no trouble with the joins at all. Don't forget you are unlikely to have trouble with the rail itslef the weak point is the joins and I try to do without them if I can by using long pieces of rail our club rail is 3.65 mor 12 ' long and that is just great for me. <br /> <br />So my young friend don't jump to conclusions until you have had a bit of experience and and nothing improves knowledge like fixing failures <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br /> <br />ian
