I agree w/a lot of what everyone says about Brass track. It is harder to keep clean. I do use brass track in area's that do not have much traffic. Like, yards where a lot of cars are stored. I use the brass turnouts too, in that area(yards). Someone gave me about 35 #6 turnouts about 5 years ago & about 50 #4's w/about 50 pcs. of brass flex. <br />I don't like to waste that much track, so I use it. I use Brasso to clean all my track & that includes NS & brass. I also only use NS track connectors. They hold a lot better than the old brass connectors. I never reuse track connectors. They have a bad habit of spreading when you remove them from old track. Be careful w/steel track that came in old train sets. It looks like NS, but is magnetic & you can't use it w/magnetic uncouplers <br />& that stuff is very carrosive(sp). <br /> <br />Larry
