Hi Jim welcome to the forum . I have been using track power here in Chicago now for 2 years and have had really good luck with the railroad running consistantly well day after day . We use Aristocraft brass track and a Bridgewerks 15 amp transformer . I clean my railroad with a LGB track cleaning locomotive before each session . Its a little pricey but definately worth the money (around $500.00). However I will be converting one of my loco's to run on battery power so I can run in the winter when there is snow on the tracks . I run Aristocraft , USA Trains , LGB and MTH locomotives . The MTH has the Proto 2.0 system and is a lot of fun . I have only a large circle going around my yard and only 2 switches that provide a 50 foot passing siding that I can park another train on for variety . My advice to you would be to use the largest diameter curves and biggest switches you can fit in your space cuz things will look a lot nicer going around gracefull curves . We are using 20 foot curves and Aristocraft #6 switches . I have had no problems with any of my fleet getting around the railroad . If you like modern day American trains then Aristocraft and USA Trains have the largest variety . They also make some nice steam era too . Good luck with your project . Its definetly worth it when you kick back and watch it go.[img]http://planetdonnstudios.com/mike/web/pizzurro/images/DSC_1269.jpg[/img]
