number one dead giveaway

I will agree on handlaid track. There's really no reason to handlay anymore unless you like doing it. There was a time when the only way to get smaller code rail was to handlay, and back then just having the smaller rail profile would make the handlaid track more realistic. I would still claim a properly handlaid code 70 or 55 would look better for a logging layout or branch line than Atlas code 100 Snap Track. But these days, properly weathered ME track looks much better than anything one could handlay, with the possible exception of those who take the time and money to go the proto-87 route.
