[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trainchris</i> <br /><br />I guess more of what I was asking is in reference to the realism. Does it look better than the pre-assembled or are they about the same in the end? I've never seen a layout in person that has been done with hand laid track. Thank you for responding. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hello trainchris, and welcome to trains.com... <br /> <br />Back in the day, there was no such thing as snap track and so forth. If you wanted a layout, you hand laid track-and became good at it because you had no choice. <br />I personally have never built a layout with anything other than old fashion track. <br />Like some of the other members have said, you have a lot more freedom to do what you want on your layout, and yes it does look 99% more realistic than snap track. <br /> <br />Good luck to you. <br /> <br />trainluver1
