Iam a little confused, friends say that track that is nickel (silver) is better than brass, is there any truth to this and what do you suggest I should use. Iam making a model railway so I want to use the right thing now and not later.
your freinds are right. brass track will tarnish very fast and will present some conductivity problems. nickel silver doesn’t tarnish and will allow you to run trains longer between cleanings.
Brass also attracts more dirt and gunk, so nickle-silver is much cleaner, and looks more realistic.[:D]
nickle-silver is the best choice. Brass gets alot garbage on it. The nice thing about N-S track you can use gun blueing on it to get that new rail look with no contact problems.
yea i used to have bras JUNK ITS ALL ICKY AND DIGUSTING
I didn’t think you could even get brass track anymore. It’s not even worth buying. It will oxodize and stop trains dead in their tracks unless you run them at least two hours a day to keep the crud burned off.
Brass and steel track are the worst track to start with. Buying nickel silver will give you the best electricity flowing on your track and the trains will run a lot better on nickel silver.[:)][:)][:D][:D][tup][tup]
Dont even consider brass track.
I had a trainset on brass once. For years I struggled with it. I think for every hour I ran trains, 2 must have been spent cleaning and eyeballing every inch of metal both on the rails and the wheels.
Never again. And that was like 3 decades ago.
lay nickel silver track and put a metal polish like MAAS or Flitz on it. The polish will keep the track clean, I havent cleaned my track in over a year.
If you have brass or steel track don’t bin it, break it up and use it for MoW loads. if you have more than you can use let people here know and share it with us for our loads 
Brass can be used for guard rails (on bridges or through grade crossings) or on track which will never, ever see a powered locomotive. I’m using it on the stub ends of some back-in staging tracks.
As for MW scenery, brass on ties (flex or bare-tie sectional) can be cut to 39 scale foot lengths and stacked either in your MW materials area or on a flat car. The prototype equivalent of snap-track is used for quick repairs at derailment sites. Loose brass rail can be used for anything from fence posts to re-lay rail lying along the right-of-way.
