 I'm new to outdoor garden railroading. Currently I'm in the planning stages my future railroad and have a question regarding track. I initially will be starting out with track powered locomotives, but eventually will switch to RC when funds permit. Taking this into account and the probability that I will likely have visiting modelers that aren't RC equiped, which type of track material is a good choice for both types of power? I see that aluminum is inexpensive and used by many of the live steamers, but how does it do with track power? Brass is a bit more expensive, but I like the idea that it weathers to a realistic appearance, whereas I don't see that being the case with aluminum. NS seems a bit more expensive than I wi***o go with, so the main thrust of my questions revolve around the choice of using aluminum or brass. I would also like to know how much trouble each is as far as cleaning goes. To those that reply, your help is greatly appreciated. Lonegpr
