I tried it and that's what made me go to Kato Unitrack. It was OK but I had a lot of trouble with the turnouts. Clearances weren't matching and I had derailments...lots of derailments!
In case anyone is looking for Unitrak I have a bunch for sale on ebay

Boy did I way over buy!
First thing I do after a careful visual inspection is to take the cover off and put current directly to the motor. That way you know if it's just dirty wheels or a wire needs to be soldered or something like that.
Excellent work! Welcome aboard! Your scenery techniques are great. Do you have any plans on adding structures? How do you control your layout? Dcc or conventional?
Looks great and will follow your updates!
