Peco track would be more realistic, although Roco's track with fitted roadbed would be easier to use as you wouldn't have to ballast it (Roco also do unballasted track). Also, I believe that the motors for the Roco ballasted turnouts fit inside the bases of the turnouts, which would make them easier/neater to use.<br><br>I think it depends on how much effort you want to put in to it! I have been building a small On30 layout (I'll post some pictures soon), using Peco flextrack & turnouts. I would also like to build a small HO or N layout some time in the future. If I do, I'll probably go for something like Roco, Fleischmann or Marklin track systems (depending on the scale), mainly because I'm so clumsy!<br><br>By the way, if you check out http://www.roco.com/index.aspx you'll see that Roman & Company now distribute Roco in the USA. Also, <font face="Arial" size="2">Modelleisenbahn GmbH took over Roco last year when they went bankrupt after a lot of investment in modernisation of the factory.</font>
