Nickel Silver.

Strong, flexible -and it solders well. All my track is PECO SM32 amd although we use the Tenmille track at the club layout -I would say my locos never feel as comfortable with it as they do on the PECO.

You would want to have a very good reason for not using brass.

I know that each has its own pros and cons, but which, in your opion, is better for outdoor railroads: Stainless Steel or Nickel Silver.
