Hi Fella's:

Too quiet. Came across a batch of Tyco True steel track and wondered if someone could compare for me that and typical brass sectional?

Thanks,
Gareth

I have the steel flex track put out some years back that gives me some fits. Since it is a separate loop, I figured the test was fair...and safe. I found that steel track needs about twice the amount of work to keep it clean then my NS track or my brass. Brass, when it corrodes, is still conductive. NS and steel are not and so the old Bright Boy track cleaner takes regular laps around my test loops. Hope that helps a little.
