I'm going to expand my track layout and I have one question. My entire layout is LGB track and a friend has a lot of Aristo track he want's to sell. How is the compatibility between the two? I like the fact you can screw the track together on the Aristo. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

And then there's the metal wheel flanges that could cause derailment on code 332 or 250 track (depending on which flanges you have): http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?t=110958&highlight=bachman
I've been into G scale about 30 years. My first layout was outside and all that was available was Aristo Craft 3 foot straights and LGB 4 foot radius curves. I used a conductive grease in the joiners when I put the track together. The layout was outside for 18 years before I rebuilt it. I didn't have any problems. As far as metal wheels they are all good, I have San-val, USA and Aristo. Haven't had any problem with any of them. Don
