Hi Folks,
Thanks for the replies, certainly very interesting.
Had a look at the Fleischmann Profi-track and it seems very nice, particularly with the embedded point motors. My only concern is that it still seems to be holding the track together just using the track joiners so not sure how this is going to cope with repeated assembly/disassembly, usage on an uneven surface (not wildly so but still not a nice flat base board) and so forth, so would welcome any thoughts on those topics.
The Trix-C looks nice too and seems to have quite substantial joints to hold the track together, but i'm not too sure about points and so forth, I couldn't really find much information about how they fit in etc. Point motors really have to be fitted to the track itself and shouldn't need a base board fitting to work properly if they're going to be of use to us. I did see a slow-motion motor (though that was a tad outside the price range we're looking for!) which seemed to just sit within the ballast height of the track, which is great, presumably it just clips there or could be fixed to it via other means.
Many thanks indeed for the assistance thus far, a number of ideas opened up and it definitely looks like there is a good solution out there for us, now to find it
