Central Valley track?

I agree, Micro Engineering track and switches appear to be as good as Central Valleys. The big difference (to me) is the cost and flexibility of the CV system. In full scale, far fewer turnouts are built with one leg being a tangent track. Switches can be built on curves, the way the prototype does it, this allows much more flowing track work, which is beautiful to look at and see trains worm their way through. <br /> <br />The MSRP can be as low as $1.25 per foot for Code 83 CV flex-track. The switch kits with rail are close to 1/3rd the cost of ME products. I have heard Micro Engineerings stuff can be difficult to find at times, as the company can have production problems. Another selling point (from my point of view) is the fact that the track is built or modeled, something which seems to be taking place less and less in this hobby!
