Walthers track is OK - I use a mixture of Walthers, Micro Engineering and Peco on my layout. I prefer the Peco points, but until the recent introduction of their code 83 range their code 75 and 100 looked very British (not a huge surprise really as it was designed for the UK market). <br /> <br />The biggest draw back is the Walthers turnouts is not having a locking mechanism. Unless you use a tortoise point motor or some other spring type locking mechanism the point blades aren't firm against the stock rails making for easy derailments. <br /> <br />I also don't recommend their #6 1/2 curved turnouts - I found one of mine was significantly out of gauge, although I have had no problems with their straight #4 & #6 turnouts in this respect. <br /> <br /> <br />
