This has probably been answered elsewhere, but is brass track really as bad a many people (especially LHS staff) say?
I have a few pieces of brass track on my 4x6' layout. Overall, my layout works well but occasionally it has current problems and I was wondering if the brass track might be part of the problem.
Although I've replaced a lot of the older track with Peco flex track & Peco turnouts, there are a few sections where brass track (and newer Atlas track) remain.
Should the layout be OK as long as I keep the brass track fairly clean or should I try to replace all of the brass sections? And if I ever build a new layout, should I stay clear of using brass track? (as I have quite a bit in storage that I could use!).
Thanks,
Rob
