Well guys ... I'm still researching and acquainting myself with the world of Plarail and I have to admit that I'm getting sucked into this in a BIG way, but I'm still not sure what my initial purchase will be just yet. However, I've managed to convince my wife that it would be a cool "novelty" to run one of these things around the flower beds on our deck, so I say that's a big win up front 
So, today I became aware of Plarail Advance and I've got a few questions for you veterans ...
Firstly, what's the consensus on this vs. the normal plarail models? I got the impression that folks either love it or hate it from the youtube comments I read.
Secondly, I read somewhere that the Advance trains won't work with a sloped track without derailing ... is that true? That would be a deal breaker for me, unfortunately cause I'm still looking for a system that would sort of simulate a monorail or elevated rail, at least partially.
So what's the low-down on Plarail Advance from the community at large?
BTW, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies and links you've provided thus far ... I've followed them all and they've been extremely useful. I'm definitely a novice and it's nice to be participating in a friendly internet community here ... I appreciate it greatly !
