[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by gpflepsen</i> <br /><br />Everyone should build track from scratch. Nothing matches the graceful flowing custom lines and curves which can be done with handlaid track. [/quote] <br /> <br />Right on! On an HO RR i sadly had to leave behind b4 realizing the moving benefits of modular, i spiked rails to creosote-soaked wooden matchsticks (even SMELLED like a prototype RR - the ex never forgave me for the stink in the recroom). The freedom to make any size turnout required was wonderful! The staggered, crooked ties lent a very realistic apearance to the trackwork. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, it took a LOT more time than i had anticipated (don't it always? 20 minute rule...). Now i take the easy road and buy prefab track and turnouts.
