Nice work August!
I had Italian Lima HO track back in 70's and 80's. It was something I could afford and was good enough. Märklins and Fleischmans were of course higher quality but a bit too expensive, and i didn't even like Märklins AC current system. Tracks looked stupid and that feeder rail even more stupid(IMHO).
Today's digital model track system prices are skyrocketed compared to those good old times.
I do regret I sold my track to my friend.
