Hello Anthony 👋 Track is a very tricky question 🤔 and really depends on your stock and track plan 😇 Peco Code 55 and unifrog points are definitely the best looking option 👍 but if you're using older stock or Continental models you have to be careful of the wheel flanges 😝 If you are planning very tight curves 🤔 you should definitely consider "set track" pieces rather than flexi track 🤕 When all is said and done, the most important part is making sure that whatever track you choose, that fishplates are securely connected and the transitions from piece to piece are flat 👍 bumps and gaps lead to derailment's 😝 If you follow the work of Euan The Blackwood Growler 😇 you can't go wrong 🤩 Many thanks for watching and very best wishes from the Emerald Isle ☘️

Thanks for replying buddy. I have very few curves as my layout is end to end. My choice of going to electrifrog or unifrog is because my dcc locos are stopping on the insulfrog points. So while I was taking track up, I thought I may as well go for Code 55. Have a good weekend my friend. 👍

Greetings to the Pennines, and hello, Peter 👋 I use the Roco Z21 DCC system 😇 for Wickford and Continental Shelf 👍 It's a Global 🌏 standard, so the world is your oyster 🦪😝 The Continental Models are a nice holiday from running the British ones on Wickford ⛱️ variety is the spice of life 😇 I hope uou enjoyed the the Preston Show 🤔 the layouts there looked amazing 🤩 Many thanks for watching and very best wishes from the Emerald Isle ☘️
