Electrified Track? What do most do?

Hi Cacole, <br /> <br />While my trains will run with catenary as they have functional pantographs, no.. I mean the track it's self is powered, as compared to the loc being battery powered. My reasons are quite simple... If I were running $200-500 locs, I would have no problem taking them apart and soldering this here and that there... but there are $2000-$3000 and made in Europe, as compared to China, so I just can't bring myself to modify them... I have since found a few people with electrified track and I think I'll join the ABTO (Arizona Big Train Operators) as many of them run electrified track.. Also I believe the Stainless Steel track is much less likely to get "dirty", which would make it the ideal choice for electrified track, as compared to the brass which actually looks good when it tarnishes but is more useful for running live steam or battery powered like you're doing. <br /> <br />
