I plan to use Aristocraft track for mainline operations, LGB for tracksidings and spurs and... <br /> <br />I need advise on what type of switches to use in terms of brands. I have read on this forum in different places that Bachmann Locos have problems on LGB switches. Since all my first Loco's will probably be Bachmann, what should I do. <br /> <br />Here is the rationale for why I am going to use this combination of track... <br /> <br />I am impressed by the "screw" system that Aristocraft track employs, with a small amount of solder, I think I can maintain good electrical connection. <br /> <br />I like the look of LGB track, but its hooks and clips seem like they will bring up the issues I fought in N and HO scale. By placing such track on sidings they will run in "parallel" and those issues could be greatly minimized. <br /> <br />I need a reliable switch system that will b e manual. I don't mind throwing the switches manually, but I need them to work. <br /> <br />Let me in on some track secrets and correct any "false" logic in my plan. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Capt Carrales
