Earl-

Remember that the Bachmann set tracks cannot be used outdoors. They are not UV
resistant and will deteriorate in no time flat. However, Bachmann now has a line of
track which will work outside. I haven't seen any yet, myself, but it should show up
on this web site soon. I see that the catalog says there are 18 large scale track items
but it shows only seven indoor items.

When you go to track under large scale, the top of the page says (7) Brass Track.
Click on that and it will show you all their brass track.
I have some of their brass track and like it very much. I can't wait until they make some switches.

Tom-

I see what you mean. It seems an odd way to list them since the earlier page said 18. Well, anyway, I found them. Thank you. I'm not actually in the market but I have been interested to see them. I wonder how brass will stand up outdoors, especially with the ubiquitous acid rain which is full of sulfur. I would think it would be a real maintenance hassle. Brass won't rot to death outdoors -- that's why it's used for marine fittings -- but I would think that oxidation would be a major problem.

The small allen screws are reminiscent of Aristo track. Does anyone know if Aristo makes this for Bachmann?
