If I was building a layout with a 10 year old, I would focus on having fun, and not too concerned about prototype look. The deep flanges stock on most products do help keep the trains on the track, and if it is your first layout, you will find out about levelling track! That said, stay with the 332 rail. By the way the Aristo stainless track has a slightly different cross section, so much so that if you use rail clamps, you need to get ones specifically for Aristo stainless... no big deal, just something to watch out for. (If you go to a lower profile rail, you will have problems with some rolling stock with flanges so deep they hit the tie plates, and you have a smaller, more expensive selection of turnouts) H&R trains distributes a line of excellent SS rail and switches, but is very expensive compared to LGB brass and Aristo SS. That said, they have slip on rail joiners that are excellent, no screws. Regards, Greg If you are doing a small layout, at least use rail clamps on the switches, that way you can remove them to work on them (you will) without ripping up track.
