is this track plastic and brass, or just plastic?

Agree with other comments. Mostly plastic with metal (probably brass) on ends of pieces to conduct electricity. I had to return mine because it didn't fit the track I already had even though it looked the same. Train set I had was called Coastal Express.

Hi Karen, The track is a black plastic base with brass-colored metal rails to conduct the electricity around the entire track layout. Ed

It's mostly plastic with a thin yet robust strip of brass folded over the rail to conduct the electricity for the train. It may sound flimsy, but I've run my train for almost 8 years, and I haven't had one piece of track break yet.

Yes and yes. The tracks are a plastic extrusion material. You can certainly cut them to legths which acomodate your needs. As far as installing "into metal", I don't know what you mean but again they're made of PVC or similar plastic, if you want to build a framework around them you can but their intended use is to hold tools/parts in bins. If money is no object you could cover a whole wall with track and hang bins anywhere.

Yes they are metal. They are actual better than most others because they have a latch that you can install that will keep them together. I used this set to expand the old set I already had I use the track in this set on both ends because it stays together better.

It's plastic, but it has the wood grain look. Hard to tell unless you get right up to it.

It's not brass. I am not in front of it so I can't remember of the top of my head if it is plastic and stainless steel or just plastic. I know at least the fitting area is stainless steel. It still works great and cleans up easily. No issues so far.

Yellow parts are metal. Thing that hold the tracks are plastic. Other parts are all plastic. We broke one of the tracks because it was held together with plastic yellow wheels but super glue did the trick and fixed it well. Still holding.

Metal tracks with plastic wheels on the sides and a wooden grove in the middle.

I have looked at this item very carefully, and cannot tell My best guess is that it is plastic.It is sold as "Polished Brass" but that might be considered a color. I am pleased with mine. It is sturdy and handsome-looking.

I believe it's plastic but there may be some metal parts, too. Not to worry. It's a great showerhead.

Unfortunately it's plastic. I don't think you can buy real brass these days unless you pay an arm and a leg for it.

You can use a construction glure to stick the metal track, in my case I attached the metal track with some 2" screws

Yes it is, but the knob that you use to adjust the speed appears to be a high quality plastic piece. I had to really look at it to tell if it was plastic or metal.

I do not have the original box for the tracks, but I have used them for a few years now. mostly around the holidays. They are steel rails, connectors, and plastic undersides. I do not believe they contain any lead

Screws so it wont pull up. Tapcon for concrete. U can use nails but they tend to pull up causing the track to loosen over time
