I do. We set up floor layouts with tubular track and I find that a lighted lockon is a good idea when a CW-80 transformer is used. It helps create a load, which makes the e-units on some locos work better.

I was wondering if there are folks that still use, and prefer, lock-ons with their tubular tack?
With my temporary layouts I have used both lock-ons and direct connections by inserting spades into the slot on the bottom of the rails. I've never had a problem with voltages when using lock-ons. I find them to be quick, easy, and very effective.
I am at the point of creating blocks for my layout and decided that I will go with lock-ons for the permanent connections for each block (rather than use soldered connections or a spade into the slot in the center rail). To me they help enhance the classic "toy train" look.
