The point about Nickel SIlver being better and requiring less cleaning is due to the oxide (rusting) of the rail. Nickel silver oxide conducts electricity, while brass oxide does not. Brass track (and all track for that matter) is easy enough to clean. Many modellers recommend polishing the railhead with metal polish after cleaning to keep the track cleaner longer. <br /> <br />Go with what you have, and just keep it clean! Once it is painted, ballasted, and scenicked, not too many people will notice. <br /> <br />Andrew
