Perhaps those old blue rails of mine will come back into fashion again 8?)
There are advantages using these methods - don't have to worry about where to
place power connectors & isolating track sections; Don't have to keep cleaning
the track for good contact; Can run any number of trains of any length on the
same track simultaneously.
Of course, it does make the train control a little more complex, but not that
much.
