Brian, I run the AML 332 with my aristo, LGB & USA switches & track with absolutely no problems. I have hillman, splitjaw and railclamps made by a club member and all work great. I run battery power though so i can't comment on conductivity. But Mr. Polk says you should buy his stuff cause it's better.

Oh Marty, I see that the ends of the "other" rail are 0.00005 degrees out of being a right angle, so that new track must be used or junk. You are a traitor. I don...
ha ha ha Marty, I guess I can speak my mind over here. The AC guys are having a fit that you bought track from someone else, like you are a traitor for trying to make the most of your railroad $$.
I think it is an optical illusion that the ends of the rails are not straight up and down. Since they are fitting together nicely, obviously the AC rail is likewise defective!
Let us know how you like it.

You know, right after the photo I put it back in the box and have not had time to mess with it.
I think it was cut alittle off. Plus I should have placed one of the new joiners on it.
I do plan to spray the ties black just incase to protect them.
I almost thought they would lock the thread, but the photos show it they way it is.
Like you said, I ,,we have to watch our $$$
BUT if they did not have American style ties I would have not boughten it.

I do not like the flimsy "spikes" on the Aristo rail, they break off easily and the only thing that holds the track in gauge seems to be the screws, which can give people fits when they have expansion issues.
I like the look of your new track better, and no big rectangular slot in the ties. (always wondered why it was not just a hole).

Well, it is a different place here. Notice that George Adams, the head of Aristo customer service commented on page one of this thread.
As someone commented on another forum, for battery users, conductivity of the rail does not matter to a battery guy. Even for track power, the biggest problem is the joiners conducting, not the rail itself.
I will comment that I have no problems bending Aristo track, you do need to pull some of the screws out, but I have never had to cut the tie "straps".
I understand Aristo is bringing out some lower cost rail for flex track soon.
The track wars are starting!

Nick ya lost me????
But I think the market needs this to keep things going.
Each time a new roofing company starts up in town ,us older ones loss busness untill the new company finds out you can't make it on such cheap prices.
Some folks will always choose the cheaper one.
The prices level out and we all get a piece of the pie again.

Marty, Nick was commenting on my comment, that some people are upset because you did not buy Aristo track. Most of these people are on the Aristo forum.
Yep, prices will level out, and competition is a healthy thing.

Thanks! Always wondered about that... I would hate to see what a zip tie would do to the tie in the sunlight after a couple of years.
