I think Brakie should stick with a fiddle track.hi Justin and Brakie
The question always is: what can a cassette do for your layout? What is the price you'll have to pay?
What it can do is clear; the part of the layout that can effectively be used is at least 2 feet longer, not bad on a 6 feet long layout. It is a great place to fiddle. And yes Brakie, you can operate it like a car-float.
The pain, yes lots of it...in its most simple configuration it is like adding a few straight snap-tracks, beside putting in a plug for electrical contact.
BTW a forum is about sharing idea's, not for telling someone else what he or she should do.
