What do you guys like better?
I like Realtrax
Collin,
I have never used or seen Realtrax. For my main layout I use Gargraves but around the Christmas tree I used Fasttrack. I like how it sets on carpet and how easy it is to connect and disconnect. It seems to have good stability. I actually thought about using it on a layout but Lionel did not have that many different sizes of switches, etc at the time.
Sorry about the Jets.

How about “Super O”!
Very best, Mike

…good ole Lionel 027.
It’s cheap, flexible (by 10-20 degrees), and a radius small enough to run losts of trains in a very small area.
Now, if FASTRACK came in 027… [:)][:)][:)]
I agree with Mike [:)]
My second choice would be Fastrack, though. It works with Magnetraction, unlike Realtrax.
Ross is best but the most expensive. Atlis O is my choice., on strafome roadbead.
Just buy 1 circle of each plastic roadbed, place on a plywood bench, drive and listen. That will be the last plastic roadbed track you ever buy. Unless you just want an ovel on the carpet, round the Christmas tree.
I like Fastrack. The track ties on realtrax look kinda wierd, not enough of them. Go with what you like, not what I like though.
What works for me may not work for you. At this point I am committed to RealTrax as that’s what I started with and I’m past the point of no return. There’s a lot of great product out there, take your time.

You can see a lot of RealTrax below.
After 027, Snap track by K-line is my favorite. It is a tubular O scale on lots of ties. It is realistic looking, not loud, flexible, easy to cut, easily mates with regular tubular O track , relatively affordable, and cheap when on sale at Hobby Lobby.
