@c.sam posted:Hey Jim, it's interesting that only Marty E responded with a simple 'NO' per your original request for a Yes/No answer. I tried but bit my lip anyway with my initial reply of "Gargraves Rail is too big". Lol!
I had a nice layout using ScaleTrax and found that our trains appeared to be much more massive because of the visible smaller outside rails and the center blade was significantly less obtrusive. I actually pulled the center rail of a piece of Atlas and replaced it with the MTH blade and it was a huge improvement visually even with the larger oversized Atlas rails.
Here are some photos of my old layout showing how nice ScaleTrax looks and the effect it creates for enhancing our models. It was very easy to work with as well - very similar to HO flex.
Wow the ScaleTrax looks nice. I didn't even mention in my initial post, because of the issue of availability and some very troubling reports of its reliability to deliver power through its connectors.
The Yes or NO was my attempt to get input from members that don't usually post, just read the topics. The more input I can get on this, the better for making an informed decision.
Thanks for your posts.
