Hi ChrisO
Ive found that as far as track is concerned Peco is best in terms of looks and availability. I use streamline code 75 which is fine scale but code 100 is available too, which is closer to hornby set track. (OO and HO) They are both compatible with Hornby track and are nickle plated so stand up to "damp" conditions much better than steel track (hornby set track) which will rust. You say you are using the garage for your model railway, is it heated or does it get damp?
Track choice is also a matter of personal taste and budget.

**** Steve, if only you hadn't said "best looking" - it took me ten minutes to pick myself off the floor and stop laughing.
Richard,
Glad to give you a giggle.

As I dont have the patience and were withall to build my own points and am a relative newbie to this hobby I'm not so bothered about the track being totally 100% accurate but that it looks acceptable, is easy enough to lay, is available and had RTR points etc.
Ive pointed out in the past that Im not a "rivet counter", near enough is good enough. I respect those who do demand 100% accuracy out of common human respect, but this hobby is about comprimise after all. Afterall, who can really make a model of a prototype location and be accurate regards scale distances etc in a limited available space?

Thankyou for correcting me regards nickle silver track being solid not plated.

I will be in touch via PM regrding fitting sound to my Bachmann class 55.

Regards
Steve
