AtlasHO Scale True-Track Starter Set

Shipped as expected and works great with my ho teain

THe track is very good! Did not like the plastic base,so not using the base.

When you buy Atlas track you are getting the best track for your money.

The train track is junk. The track bed too easily separates from the train rails. The pieces are very hard to connect together. I recommend that you stay away from Atlas starter set.

Very pleased. Fits together well and is easy to use.

Although I sympathize with the previous reviewer's problems, I think this product is certainly worth more than one star. I have found it easier to work with and quieter in operation than its Bachmann counterpart. It's true that this is really not a toy train product, but is more for model enthusiasts who want to create a layout which will be at least semi-permanent. I have mine set up on a flat, solid surface and I have run my trains on it for many hours at a time without any problems. I didn't find it hard to assemble (although like any similar model it is rather a painstaking process to make sure it is all properly joined together, not recommended for young children) and I've had no difficulties with breaking or twisted pieces.All-in-all, not a bad product if it is used in the right situation.
