I would recommend upgrading to the nickel-silver, as this will work much better in the long run.

Ok I didn't think it would hurt being indoors, but the nickel silver woud hold up better.

the main problem with steel track is that you need to clean it more often. it can also rust if used in a high humidity area. i assume your wall racks for these trains will be up pretty high? if so you won't want to be up there cleaning track all the time. dirty track means the trains run poorly, if at all.

I understand plus I can get some great deals on ebay for it to. The room is only 7 foot hight but I see what you aare getting at puse I run some wd40 sprayed on a cloth and I wipe the tracks Helps clean and gets rid of jerky operation. Depending on how musch it is ran I  had a small round table lay out and I did this once a week. Ussaly ran about 2 hours a day.
