Atlas O Scale 2 rail flex

Really?????? I had no idea hen's teeth were that hard to find.  LOL  Sorry I couldn't resist.

Join the party.  I don't think anyone has new Atlas 2 rail track in the 40" lengths. You may be able to get it in 10" sections.  I know I've tried to get some (40"ers) for myself.  However, if you look on eBay someone usually has some of the older Atlas 2 rail track in 36" lengths.  You may be able to get some in time for your deadline.

Not sure if you need Atlas for a specific reason but if not, you could always use Micro engineering code 148: http://www.micromark.com/o-gau...f-6-pieces,9740.html

I'm sure if you look around, you could find it for less than this site.

Already found it for less: http://www.valleymodeltrains.com/website/255o.html

Sorry about that. I had not noticed it was not updated recently. Try these guys then: http://www.blueridgehobbies.co...Engineering-Main.asp You can also find it on ebay for slightly higher. There is a guy who sells there but also has a shop where he sells it for lower cost. He goes by bigdiscounttrains1: http://myworld.ebay.com/bigdis...rksid=p2047675.l2559  I have purchased from him in the past. Nice to deal with.

Thanks, I went with Micro-Mark, as I had dealings with them before, and they're pretty good. 

Take care,

If this is for a museum display M/E code 125 will make a much nicer presentation for the discerning eye.

I take it they had it back in stock?...They had been out for a bit.

Atlas Model Railroad will be restocked with 2-rail flex track by May 15, 2013. In the mean time you can try Caboose Stop Hobbies at 1-319-277-1754 to inquire if they have any remaining, thanks.

Thanks, Tom, I went with the Code 148 to mate with an Atlas switch I ordered. I don't think the crowd at the Ice Museum will be discerning the size of the rail, and I may have to use some of my three rail cars to flesh out the siding I'm building. 

BTW, can anyone recommend a good ground throw?

Thanks, Artie

Jerry,

Thanks for taking the time to post this information!

Thanks, Matt, I guess it's the 208s then. Yes, the handles remind me also of the switch throws on the old Hoboken Shore Railroad, which had a small yard and car-float operation in Hoboken where I grew up in the '50's. They, too, had a short section of street running. 

The project is coming together, and I'll have to post some pictures when it's finished.

Take care,

Artie
