EZ track

Can I use gray and black roadbeds together?

I have been doing it without problems, other than normal problems associated with the black roadbed track.

I have, over the last year, been changing all of my black roadbed steel track over to grey roadbed NS track, so

I've had a lot of mixed sections. All  that is left now are the rest of the turnouts.

My recommendation would be to start going to all NS grey roadbed track.

In my experience, it has better conductivity and is more resistant to corrosion.

Plus there are many more different  types of track in the grey roadbed (NS) tracks.

my recommendation would be to use the black roadbed track on dead end sidings or yard tracks where your locomotives won't go that often. that way conductivity won't be much of a problem.

That's a very good suggestion. As that is what I am doing as I replace the black roadbed track with the grey, I don't know why I didn't add that in my comments.

Oh, well, that what happened when you get old.  >gr<
