I prefer the premade stuff only because I don't feel I have a steady enough hand or the patience to do handlaid. I also don't have the time usually lol. One day, when I can set up my modules and leave them up for a while, I might try handlaid on new ones. -------------------- John McManaman Centerville, OH Member #1 and Founder of Ohio Valley Free-mo JGM Construction

There are some flextrack that look really good and I don't have to fiddle with the gauge to make it functional. -------------------- Per in Tustin Home of the Ambroid and COLA website: http://www.trainweb.org/ambroidkits/ My pictures are here: http://www.flickr.com/perha45

Most of my work is On3 and I prefer handlaying. I will probably handlay most of my future HO work. I find it to be enjoyable...and the turnouts are much cheaper!

Flex track by all means. CODE 100 would be so much better if it were made with brown ties instead of black.
