RogerB has become a TT man so I’m sure he can advise you.

Personal choice really but Peco points offer a more realistic turnout radius but that can take up more space. Hornby points have a sharper turnout radius, look a bit more toylike and can take up less space. If you are happy cutting track and fitting fishplates then I would go for flexi. If not and space is an issue, it is for me, then setrack is probably best, fishplates already fitted as well. R-

I also run TT, but my choice is governed totally by cost. I only use Peco flexi. I have the t20 FS set, so have a modicum of Hornby track. I have several old Triang TT locos, carriages and wagons, which happily run on flexi. Unlike Roger, i dont have a TT layout, simply run a couple of loops, on my baseboard, among 00 layout. You can pick up a lot of Triang TT on ebay, much cheaper than new Hornby stuff. Tis really down to your budget. There is also a lot of continental TT on offer, which runs well on peco.

Much bigger selection available in Europe, and to my mind, better build quality. Tillig, worth a look.
