  Track color
 
Can anyone tell me if there is any old gray track to be found at Shop at Home or at the Washington DC area company stores (straight, curved, points)? Is there any way to tell the track color from looking at the box? Thanks, Mike #1245 (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.color)

(...) This has been my experience as well in NYC/NJ area stores. Some of which were out of straight track after Xmas and have since been re-stocked. Re-stocked with old gray. Jonathan (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.color)

(...) This was definitely true for the boxed cross tracks just before Christmas. They only had the others in "System" so I couldn't check. (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.color)

(...) I bought some that were marked "World City" then, and they were old grey. The box is marked "(C) 1991, 2003". Jason R (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.color)
