Please note that this is not meant to be a heavily serious debate, just an interesting interlude.
It would be interesting if you could also answer the following question with a straight Yes / No. (please do not discuss the issue on this poll thread) :-
If an OO /HO track system was made by Peco or Hornby, which had a better scale appearance, would you use it :?:

It depends on what (if any) modifications are made to their points and crossings.
I admit to using Peco code 75 on Pen-Y-Bont but, this was not my prefered choice. I would have liked to have used SMP or C&L but, I just haven't got the time to assemble the points etc. It's taken ages to get as far as I have as it is!
As for Tillig, never seen it in the flesh but as far as I can tell it's still HO so incorrect sleeper spacing for 00 gauge and I believe it is code 83 as well so too heavy for my branch line terminus.
But. You pays your money and you take your choice.

Due to cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

I have laid too much of the other stuff. I would if I was starting a new layout from afresh.

I have always wondered about the term when used with slips - inside & outside slips. Well, my query was answered yesterday at the Exhibition here in South Aust. A dealer, Orient Express, had on display Tillig track & points- H0, which of course can be & has been used for OK 00 stock, had on display a first class piece of track work.
Outside double slip
As it maybe seen, the blades/tiebars are right at the end of unit making it an outside slip & has a radius of around 40 inches.
The Peco Code 75 slip has inside blades with a radius of 24 inches
UK price variation betwen both types is about 6 pounds.
