<p>Chapca ,ate; those Aristo screwed connections sounded good to me too; but i am gradually getting rid of them. Different things work in different environments but here they did not. They filled up with dirt and become low conductivity joints. I clean the whole thing up put on an LGB joiner and solder it;; no more truible. However i do like Aristo track, possibly one of the best i have used.</p><p>Now if you are talking about electrically operated points (switches) be aware that they aren't all that onterchangable. LGB work off about 18V+ AC and other s off DC and stillothers work off DC and are directional.</p><p>I use plenty of LGB i have 8 sets and two of those sets are doubles ie a change over and a siding set. The double ones are quite terrific to watch and experience, as you are doing something distinctly in tandem.</p><p>Rgds ian </p>
