Opinions on using. Necessary? Only good for problem areas? Wouldn't lay track without them? Waste of time? Are they worth the expense?
Which is better, Hillman or Split-Jaw? Hillman is cheaper. What about quality? Is there enough difference between them to care? Is there enough difference between them to worry about mixing them on a layout?
Richard and Carol Hillman want to retire and are trying to sell the business. Concerns about viability of the product in the future?
Have there been any failure or warranty issues? Can the tiny screws be readily obtained? They are easy to drop and lose if you accidentaly take one all the way out.
All my track is well used. Some Aristo, some LGB. Some have stock slip joiners, some pretty badly bent up. Some have rail clamps, brand unknown. Would it be better to get some that fit over the joiners, or to take the effort to remove old slip joiners and go with standard rail clamps?
Thanks for your comments.
