I like LGB it has good connectors and this is where you will get trouble; not in the track itself. I solder my LGB connectors and no trouble at all even under tropical conditions. However as far as track itself is concerned i think Aristo is very good as it has in my opinion a better alloy than LGB, ie more zinc is it and less copper ? than LGB and it doesn't oxidise as much in the tropics. Conductivity is not as good but not worth talking about. I don't like Aristo connectors and i am going to get rid of all my Aristo stuff for this reason, very hard to solder and they do go high resistance from time to time even though the fact that they are screwed together is a big advance over LGB unsoldered. <br /> <br />However i am sold on LGB points (switches ) etc, even more so as i am getting into automating my layout, no other supplier has anyhting like what i am using and it's operation is a wonder to me in itself. <br /> <br />So in essence the rails themselves are usually not much of a problem in solid track but other things are important. <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
