Thanks Larry and lears2005!
I don't want to mislead anyone on the track work...
Most of the track work outside of the Southside Yard is ME c/70 flex track and ME c/70 #6 turnouts. I'm using the CVT ties, proto87 frogs/turnouts and some c/55 rail on just a few of the spurs, mainly to use up some stuff I had left over from a previous project. To answer the question - the CVT ties and turnouts look nice and work well, but I found I prefer the convenience of flex track and ready made turnouts. Plus I think the ME stuff looks as good or better than the CVT ties & turnouts.
Thanks everyone for your interest and comments!
