[#welcome] aboard <br /> <br />As advised by others, I'd say to stay clear of buying more brass track if at all possible - it does require a lot more cleaning compared to nickel silver track. Having said that, it'll do in the short term - good advice I've seen is to use it in sidings and other low-traffic areas as these don't tend to need cleaning as often. Sourcing track cheaply is always tricky - Peco flextrack and switches are superb but I hear they're a bit pricey over there? <br /> <br />Another suggestion would be to visit www.kadee.com and investigate switching over to their couplers - they are very good and the best of the knuckle types. They also have info on fitting these to pretty much everything under "conversions". Fit uncoupling magnets under the rails at the start of each siding and you can switch cars hands-off - great for realism. Hope this helps!
