Michael this is the final and official word on rail as set out below. <br /> <br />Aristo has more nickle in its alloy than LGB which makes it harder meaning it will last longer under tough conditions. It also means its electrical conductivity isn't quite as good, but it is hardly measurable let along be noticable. <br /> <br />In my opinion if you don't solder them the screwed connections of Aristo is better then the pu***ype LGB connectors., ie less chance of a high resistance joint and better mechanical strength. However if you do as I do and solder them, the lgb connections are the best of the lot. <br /> <br />The extra hardware you can get from LGB (such as points (switches) are far superior in LGB particualerly the push pull action of the elctrically operated ones). Further the electronics that is available with LGB controls is just brilliant once you get it working. <br /> <br />Having said all that i use neither, i use our club rail which comes im 3.7 m (12') lengths and you assemble them yourself. Much cheaper and much more versatile and when you get used to bending and assembling your own track you wouldn't do it any other way. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian <br /> <br />The god of tracks
