There must be some sort of demand, since many of the major suppliers are offering this type of track. Atlas, Bachmann, Life-Like and Kato all have roadbed track in their product lines. As was stated above, there is a level of simplicity with this type of track that also adds to the realism for many folks, myself included. While I am in the design stages of a layout that will be built with cork and flextrack, I have a Kato Unitrack set that I use to run my trains on. Since I am setting up the Unitrack in the house, it has to be able to be removed, and that is nearly as easy as setting it up. What's also fun about it, is that I don't think I've ever set it up the same way twice. This offers some variety when it comes to operation of my trains. The same could be accomplished with sectional track, but would not work very well on my carpeted floors. Again, there must be some market for this stuff 'cause I bought some! <br />-Joe
