Being relatively new to Garden railroading, I would like advice on buying flex track.
I am planning on adding 300 - 400 feet of track to my railroad, and plan to use aluminum flex track, code 332... if I can find it; otherwise, I'll use code 250. I am running battery power and belive aluminum will be OK for me, and the most economical. About 6 months ago I checked pricing and found prices a little over $2 per ft; now, I'm seeing prices in the $3 - $4/ft range.
I am going to the National convention next week, and am hoping to find some 'good' prices/discounts.
After reading these forums, I am going to buy a Train li rail/track bender.
I would appreciate any advice from members regarding the best places to buy flex track at reasonable prices?
