I have purchased my first 2 rail engine. While it is on the way I am looking at adding a two rail run above (elevated at the back of) the current three rail loops. I have no two rail track. What track do you all recommend and why? I am fine purchasing used as I tend to like working on/refurbing trains etc as much as running them.
I have some HO power packs from long ago (I think I can find them) that I assume should be okay for providing DC. The engine purchased is an unknown vintage Sunset Models E-6 4-4-2. Will see if it runs and go from there.
Thanks in advance!

My favorite is Micro Engineering's weathered code 125 nickle silver. I think ME has a best looking tie, tie plate and spike head profile in O scale. It's a little stiffer but once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few moments to shape a section to desired radius. Atlas code 148 is very nice too, very flexible.
