Floor Layouts?

This is mine and its permanent. running fast track currently with plans to switch to gargraves and ross switches. 072 and 084 curves on main line. Yard 072 and 060 switches. Wiring for the most part under the track. Yard runs under the couch. Room is duel use so main line borders the room and runs behind the couch.

Dumb question, for a floor layout on carpet, what's the advantage of switching to Gargraves track?  Fastrack is well suited for floor layouts, and the Fastrack switches are very reliable.  I don't see that much is to be gained.

Im with John. Floor layouts are best with Fastrack because of the oil/grease factor. You can hide the wiring under it as well. Don't forget that smoke fluid will find its way to the carpet too.

I presently run a small 2 loop carpet layout using Realtrax. One loop is conventional and the other runs off of a remote commander. Planning to eventually go to DCS, get some turnouts, and remove those nasty curves sections. But first up, get some bigger curves to make it look a little better, likely O42 and O54.

Question to those who run Tubular track on carpet, have you had any experience with the rubber roadbeds used by K-Line and Johnson Roadbeds?  Both of course, are no longer in business . I found out of both of them while perusing the internet, but see that the roadbeds are available on eBay.

My floor layout is on tile, but I'm interested on the carpet centrals for when I will now take my "portable" layout to the in-laws when going to visit .
