Over time, the 153C could become a bit unreliable – but the insulated track section virtually never failed. And since the gizmo was basically a modification of something you already owned (a piece of track), it saved a few pennies by your not needing to buy anything else. This technique will work with any brand of standard, postwar-style tubular track. And the great news is, that even in these heady 21st-century times, it still works!
