I have an O gauge layout. I started it with Lionel Fastrack and have a pretty large investment in switches, etc., but I recently found Gargraves track and really think the Gargraves track is much more realistic looking. I would appreciate some guidance on whether I should invest swtch to Gargraves. What are the pluses and pitfalls.
 
Gargraves track is a good product. I have a Xmas layout loop that I nailed down some 30 years ago and still works well.

Thank you ...

Thank you for the feedback.
It's difficult to give up the convenience of Lionel Fastrack, but lacking any other input I decided to go ahead and convert my layout to Gargraves. I've built a relatively sophisticated layout (for a rookie) and it'll be a big job to replace all the new track, accessory track and switches with Gargraves, but what the hay, that's what a hobby is supposed to be. Right?
Once that's done, I need to learn about TMCC. I'll be back ...
