Despite having viewed this video a few times in the past, tonight I spotted this neat structure:

Pretty interesting layout and bash there. Liked all the little animations throughout the layout. What kind of track was used? Thanks for posting.
Different; I like it.

Super O is the greatest! A very neat layout with a great Postwar feel, and lots of operating accessories.

Thanks, I've never seen it in person or that close. Nice looking track.

Now, that layout would look good with any type of track! Very nice. However, I am surprised the Super O didn't take hold and last a lot longer, including still being made today? I do see what everyone likes about it.

The times were wrong, electric trains weren't selling as well. It was more expensive track than the tubular.
There is an urban legend that it'll quickly wear out center rollers - not true. I've been using it for 4 decades for the Christmas layout and have had not experienced that.
It is great track, I have been accumulating it for the last few years with the plan to use it for at least one line on my layout. Super O Bob has done those beautiful sweeping curves by bending curves out to wide radius. He has a how-to article on the Yahoo Super O group site. Super O curves were only made in 0-36 size - Fastrack copies the geometry. I plan to use Ross switches with mine, the ties are a similiar size. I may even replace the Ross center rail with a copper blade to make it more visually compatible.
