Brass track can work, but maintaining conductivity between the track and the train can be a problem since oxidation of brass is non-conductive (those that have little problem with brass seem to either clean it more often or run trains so much that oxidation is not a problem). Nickel silver also oxidizes, but it is my understanding that the oxidation is conductive. I've never had problems with nickel silver, but I recall my dad (back in the 70's) seemed to be always cleaning his brass track to get smooth operation.
