Nephew Xmas present question

Hello folks,

Occasional lurker decloaking for a question.

I want to get some extra tracks switches etc. to add to a nephews set he Dad got him. I wanted to find out if there are any things to watch out for as far as incompatibility with Mehano brand tracks or are they compatible with most NA brands ( I had Triang as a kid so I know!) Would it be better to just buy a domestic brand track to build a layout and store the set track? etc. This is a budget build to get the wheels rolling but ovals get boring real quick!

Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Stu

Thanks Anthony,

Greetings from Canada!

Went out tonight and picked up some Atlas track and points. Grabbed a few buildings just to get things rolling. Spoke to the fellow at the and he seemed to think Atlas was the way to go. I also have a big bag of Atlas curves stashed away that I picked up at a yard sale so it looks like we'll have lots of trackage when we start the bench work!

All the best

Stu
