[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by William North I have another question I'd like to pose. I picked up 300' of code 100, steel flex track, in 3' sections. The price was too good to pass up. ($.30 each.) (A late Sunday afternoon train show price.) I'm thinking of using it for the main line on the new layout I'm building. The only problem is, I haven't used steel track since I was a kid,on my old 027x3 railer. Can anyone give me any advise. Am I screwing up. (Pretty good at that.) William North [/quote] Steel rail is better than brass rail. Nickel-Silver rail is best because the oxides on N-S conduct electricity. If you keep up with regular cleaning there shouldn't be a problem. It's a good practice to solder feeder wires in the middle of each 3 foot section of track.
