Topic: Building a track

Many, many years ago I attended a HOUROC race, or two down south.  Think I slept on Beedles floor?  Had my ass handed to me on the track.  Anyhow, thanks to Ebay I think I'm getting obsessed again and may build a track.  At least a 12 footer, maybe longer.  So whats the current "State of the art?"  Is t-jet track still preferred over afx?  I've been gone a long time...

Re: Building a track

Hey Jeff, I'm not much into the current state of the art HO stuff, but I run some T-Jets and Magna-Tractions from time to time. I currently have a 3 lane routed 4'x8' HO track. It has steel wire imbedded in the track surface, under the copper tape I used for contact. As far as plastic sectional track I like the latest Tomy A/FX track. I used to have LOTs of old Thunderjet track. I used it to build a really big 8 lane track, which I sold. The Tomy A/FX track has much smoother joints when assembled, far better than the old Aurora A/FX track!  -------------------Bill
