Track - Lester Perry - 08-28-2010
Does anyone know where I can find code 100 bridge track ?
Re: Track - Charlie B - 08-28-2010
Lester, what are you refering to? just rail? or are you wanting the guard rail?
I always stripped a section of flex track to get the rail, It was cheaper then buying the rail. N scale works great for guard rail.

Rail is rail - if you are looking for the prototypical closely spaced ties for open bridges, try Central Valley (just ties or ties & rails) or Micro Engineering (ties and rails).

It appears that I will have to use regular flex track, cut the plastic strip between the ties and push them closer together
Re: Track - nachoman - 08-29-2010
Didn't micro engineering make that? You could try wooden ties and spiking your own, or using PCB ties to fasten the rails to. Even if you aren't a seasoned tracklayer, a short, straight bridge would not be too much of a pain.

Campbell makes bridge ties ... get a bag of the ties, a small bag of 1/8" spikes, pull the Code 100 from the flex track and call in the Coolies! ;-)

I think I will just modify the code 100 flex to make the ties closer. $20 for 500 ties of which most will be stored which means lost. Just think for me that is not the best use of $20. I am figuring in $1.50 S&H.
