maybe another page??

any US dealers??

Try Peco IL-715.  This is a sectional tie strip with molded in Pandrol or similar fittings;  you furnish your own Code 143 rail, or buy theirs.

 

I've never used it, but it looks nice.  [ In my opinion Peco make the finest Code 143 track and turnouts around ( if you are a modern era -- post 1970, say -- modeller );  pricey, but quality.]

 

I did use the Old Pullman 3' concrete tie section flex on one portion of my layout.  It was molded in a very white-plastic looking white plastic, with no fastener detail -- much more rudimentary than their usual wood tie stuff.  Since I had to remove the rails anyway to paint them, I 'dipped' the tie sections in a concrete-y 'bath' which helped;  then I had to hand paint the tie plates.  Oh well.

 

If you get any of the Peco stuff, let us know your experiences, please.

 

Best rgds, SZ 

Thank you. I see it now with that number

I'll have to see who carries it?

Do a Google search....you will get some hits. I found the ties, but didn't mention them as I thought you wanted track.

it doesn't really state what you get??

The Peco website gives a quantity of "60".  I THINK THAT MEANS 60 TIES but I'm not sure.  Note that there are 3 stacks in the blister pack;  if they are 5 deep, 4 x 5 x 3 = 60.

 

Hobbylinc [ usual disclaimer ] has them discounted and in stock, an 'oogle search sez.

Whew!!

If you get them please share with us what you get.  I've been looking for concrete ties also.  If you only get 15 segments that's a bit expensive.

 

I've been thinking about using the old CAD program to draw some up and have Shapeways print them out but I would also want to come up with brass (or some other metal) Panrol clips as spike replacements.

Hi Joe, Atlas used to list it in the 40" straight pieces, but I've personally never seen it.

 I thought so too. I now think it was the three rail version and they never offered it in two rail?

I have only seen the Atlas track with a concrete ties offered in 3 rail.  I do not think they ever offered it for two rail.

Old Pullman had it also.  Maybe the new track owner still has some of the  tie sections and you can slip your favorite rail in the ties.

Wonder how hard it might be to just cast your own ties in resin, etc.....

I did not know that someone bought them. I'll have to look now.
