Not O gauge layout but....

LGB track is the best. Nothing else to say.

I hope that helps.

Aristo-Craft probably has the best Large Scale track selection these days.  I'm not even sure LGB (now owned by Marklin) is even making much track anymore, but I could be wrong about that.  Anyhow, the Aristo track is nearly identical to LGB track and is also less expensive.

 

Not sure why you want to go with brass, but that is still the most commonly used.  If I were to build another outdoor railroad, I would go with stainless steel, even though it is more costly.  It's easier to care for in an outdoor environment.

I didn't realize stainless was easier to take care of than brass.  I live in TX with very high humidity and even stainless will rust if left outside very long here.  I will look into it.

I don't own any, but from whay I have read in Garden Railway's the best thing to do is go with Remote Controlled battery operated equipment.  With onboard battery power any track will work and you never have to worry about cleaning the track.

 

I'd look into Aristocraft. 

Aristocraft Stainless Steel track is the way to go.  Looks better than brass and won't oxidize like the Brass does.

 I live by Lake O'the Pines, I run analog & use

a mix of LGB & Aristocraft 332 rail for

my large scale trains.
