Does Aristcraft G scale track work with Bachman track?

Nathan

It does not connect direct.  I have modified the Bachmann and used Aridto joiners in an inside pike, but I have not tryed Bachmann track out doors.

If you do not have too much of one or the other you may just sell off the one you do not want to use.

Bachmann track can NOT be used outdoors, it will rust up quick. It is strictly an indoor use track.
As for connecting it, Aristo track is solid, Bachmann is hollow.

Aristocraft, USA Trains or LGB brass track is the usual for Garden Railway use, as stated above the Bachmann tinplate hollow track is only suitable for indoors, it is ideal for the Christmas Tree layout in your Lounge Room.
