Have 30 year old track, restore or can and purchase new. Best "Medium" cost choice for new? Thanks!

Sorry, HO scale. Track looks pretty bad, three replacements were shown - Atlas, Easy Track and one other European name.

Couple more questions.
(a) How much of this do you have ?
(b) are you saying that you have those three types ?
(c) you say that it "looks pretty bad" -- is it just that the rails are tarnished ? or
(d) are the ties damaged ?
New track (Atlas code 100 flextrack) can be bought for approx. $3 per 3 foot length.
If you need a lot -- Modelpower code 100 is only $100 for 300 feet.
Enjoy and Happy Xmas !!

If it's got brass or steel rail, scrap it and get nickle silver.
If it's got paper/fiber ties, scrap it.
