My preferences are Nickel Silver track made by Micro Engineering or Shinohara (Walthers) Code 83 for the main line and Code 70 for siddings or branch lines and a small amount of Code 55 for short, seldom, or slow speed, used industrial siddings. As for the turnouts, ME looks very nice, BUT they have a very, VERY poorly engineered manner of connecting the throw rod to the points. I have had to trash some of them and those that I could save I had to add screws and nuts to hold things together. If I buy their newer Command Control switches, I will add screws and nuts to the point/throw bar set-up BEFORE installing the turnout. I'd like to try the new Peco Code 83 turnouts - might just change to them. Presently I use Shinoraha turnouts after the ME fiasco. As it stands right now, NO ONE has made the perfect turnout yet, and since perfection is impossible, I guess no one ever will. Just part of the FUN of the World's GREATEST HOBBY!!! <br />Norman
