We have a 180 ft mainline with a 120 ft mountain line and the main was put together with plastic tie wraps and LGB graphite grease on the track clips before assembly. That main line ran on only 1/3 amp with only one power feed without noticable slow down on the far end. Mountain line required a full amp minimum to pull the grade. This was running LGB Forney engines on the flat and mountain and a Bachman Shea on the mountain. Has run three years so far with no problems after two full winters with lots of snow. If it ever goes bad I will just go to split jaw connectors and be set for the life of the track, or so I am told by others who swear by them. It all depends on the weather where you operate, overall humidity levels etc, etc, etc. Brass track is fine for most any climate. LGB track will turn color and weather fast to look more prototypical I would guess . Aristo is next to change color. USA rail stays "brite" the longest if that is what you want.. No experience with stainless or aluminum so can't comment on those tracks.
