Hello Chuck, <br /> Tricky one really.Believe me ,you will get some various answers here but here is my view based on what I've used. <br />I run with track power and it is all brass.Even after not using the layout for a month I can still have trains running after 10 minutes.Sectional track is not a problem as long as the rail continuity is maintained (either by well joined fishplates (connectors ) or added flyleads.)You may think that the connectors are fine,but leave it out in the garden for a few years and you will find how dirt can break the connection! <br />I like flexitrack and have a fair bit but the price of it in the UK makes it an expensive option.I hate to say this but go for large curves even though you are thinking of running small trains at the moment.My layout is about to be rebuilt in 2 weeks as I have been using 4 foot curves which are great for my locos but when my Father brings his down to play they won't go round.I learnt the hard way! <br />I am going to try Aristocraft track.I hope it works as I've put in a big order. <br />Troy
