I have inherited a large Lionel O-Gauge collection from my grandfather. I helped him build and wire a large layout (24' x 32' approx) as a boy ages 8-16. I am hoping to build a layout in my home with the available track after his old layout is dismantled. It is primarily Gar Graves flexable tinplate with some occasional minor rust and Gar Graves 0-72 switches with Lionel O-gauge uncoupling and 5-rail freight car operating tracks. and NOW finally to my question(s)... it's been almost 30 years since we built the table and as I recall we had some difficulty with track heights and derailing or pilot trucks popping off anytime the Lionel track was on or near a Gar Graves switch. Should I consider switching the loinel operating track for the newer gar graves? How well does gar graves work with used together with other manufacturers track or switches? (atlas, etc, etc..) Does anyone have experience or issues with Re-Using flexable gar graves track if you need to "re-bend" it? Thanks for your help!! [8)]
