Its more expensive but its easy and always looks nice for display purposes.
How ever for what you are planning on doing, a huge layout, and if you are patient and follow thru with your “OBSESSION” as it will quickly become, I personally think you should use the flex track for many more reasons with a cork or similar road bed. You will quickly get use to using it and find you can be more versital in every application you will get into, and dont forget it is flexable and you can cut it to fit any situation you will encounter so you are not limited to the lenghts and limits of snap track. Not to mention price, even if you have it you will want to spend it on so much more with loco’s and cars and structures etc. Sounds like you are going to have a lot of room to play with so invest in a catalog, ex: “Walters” and or “Atlas” in the scale you are going to model in and read the ink and pictures off the pages to see what is available for your current and future endeavors in your quest for the ultimate rail road. Just a suggestion set aside a nice area for a complete turn table and round house yard with all the shops and towers. I built a 15 bay round house and a 130′ turn table with all the extra goodies from Walters. Have fun being a kid again.
