Just a little bit of fun inspired by Sol's topic on better OO gauge track.
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 :?:

As one who uses mainly Atlas Code 100 track, with some Code 75 in certain sidings, I cannot vote or comment here.  But a general observation is that I would always try to balance the best quality and prototypical track with the price.  BUT … I'm not going to spend a fortune to get absolutely precise sleepers or spikes - money that could be better spent in general modelling :D

A provisional yes, but I would have to see it first.  I currently use Tillig which I am happy with so any change would have to be to something better.

Maybe!
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.

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

Just as an additional bit of useless info.

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.
