Contrary to some opinions, Unitrack is very versatile and flexible
when you design a layout. There is no limit to your creativity when you
work with Unitrack in designing a track plan. You are not limited to a
pre-set track plan and if you use your imagination you can create any
track plan for any sized space.
Just because Unitrack is sectional, doesn't lend itself to any limitations. The cost of Unitrack is comparable to any other track once you consider the cost of a sub roadbed and roadbed.
The Unitrack turnouts operate flawlessly and you can run trains for hours at a time without track issues or derailments.
The Unitrack remains cleaner for longer periods of time than most other brands of track due to the composition of the rails. On average, you can run trains for two to three months at a time or longer without cleaning the rails. I don't think you can say that about any other brand of track.There are many other positives to Unitrack that have been mentioned in other threads on different forum groups and most of you know all the positives of Unitrack or you wouldn't be using it.
Unitrack is used by beginners as well as very experienced modelers for the reasons mentioned above.
Just enjoy the running of your trains on Unitrack. It's a great experience.

Looking at the pictures, I'd wondered if you continued to use unitrack. I could not tell and thought the track ballasting and the right of way looked particularly well done. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your layout.

Thanks Joe for your positive comments. I used Unitrack on 99.5% of the layout. I used Peco code 80/55 flex track in the 24 stalls of the Roundhouse and all the holding tracks around the turntable. Peco code 80/55 flex track mates well with Unitrack. The Uni-Joiner easily slips onto the flex track. I also used some of the flex track on two long sidings behind the Diesel Service Yard on the Turntable/Roundhouse side of the layout.
ReplyDeleteI also used the Unitrack on my first layout, the "Original" JJJ&E which was in full operation for over nine years. I also used the Peco code 80/55 flex track on that layout in the turntable area.
