I was on Youtube watching stuff with my son and a video came up with someone who had done a full blown track setup in his garden around his swimming pool, it took 4 mins to do a full loop on video.

So, daddy's interested.

Do these copies work with a train set?

How long could that sort of 20 quid be length wise??

Interesting.

-Do you buy official track or unofficial?
-What's sort of price per metre does it work out at?
-Is the track easy to disassemble/reassemble, it won't be a perm feature!

The TrixBrix track is really good and they do different geometry (bigger radius curves, longer straights) etc than lego do. Identical quality to real lego.

Is that the stuff with individual blue rails, and white sleepers?

Yes, though the few sleepers I have ain't exactly white anymore
