You forgot Peco 100. That is what I am changing to I am very disapointed in Atlas 100

I used Atlas 100, only problem I had was me, when I ballasted I got ballast critters in the frog and movable track. small wire brush fixed the problem.

Atlas Snap--don't bother

Atlas 100--some say bullet proof but other say that they have moved to low-end, hgh production and are becoming more and more out-of-guage

Atlas 83--a little more delicate--fairly bullet proof and more protoypical than 100.

Peco 100--???

Peco 83--higher quality but look funky. Cost double Atlas.

Walther's/Shinohara (I probably butchaer the spelling) ??? Walther's seems to be out of stock a lot.

EZ track and other snap togethers--forget it.

Handlay--the best looking and best quality but not for everyone. You can get jigs from Fast Tracks of kits from CMA.


So, how close am I?
