I'm building with HO unitrack...and accepting the good and bad of it.

Pros - Easy to set up, no ballasting, good connectivity.

Cons - Restricted to sectional track, no flex, some say roadbed not realistic enough. 

No need to debate today...just do a search on "unitrack" and you will find all that has gone on before.

Join in the Unitrack forum on the Yahoo users group.  You'll find many active users, and the answer to most any question. Personally I use it it "n" scale and love it.  Bullet proof, very reliable, I've never had a train derail on it.  I have a double main 10' x 10' "L" shaped, dogbone layout. I can have 2 trains running, walk away for 3 hours, come back and all is well.  Dave modeling the Reading in Reading, PA
