I haven't stopped to properly contemplate why it is so. Maybe some sanding of edges would help - Brio are much more pleasing to the touch.

Yes, Lidl and Ikea tracks have rough surfaces. Brio tracks feel more polished. Or maybe they are just made from high-quality wood.

If it’s just edges, routing existing track with a round over bit is nothing. Maybe not much of a challenge though.
