k-line track
Posted by dochooter on Wednesday, November 8, 2006 1:48 PM

Hello, I am looking for 72 inch radius 027 track.  Anyone know where I can find it?  I saw k-line used to make it.

 

thanks in advance

I was able recently to find dealers on the internet that, among them, had all of the K-Line O27 curvatures and stocked up while I can.  I don't have the name here of the place where I bought O72; but I'll look for it and post it if I find it.

I appreciate it.  I was surfing around and could not find any.  I have a great spot on the layout I am working on to include that loop.

Finding K-Line track in 027 will be hard. May I suggest going to GarGraves track for 72inch curves, matches 027 track with only adapter pins needed, no shims needed. There is much more avaible with GarGraves and you won't have to worry about finding new track again as GarGraves has been around for over 20 years and should be around for a long time.

Finding K-line track shouldn't be too hard:  they cranked quite a bit out in their day.  Gargraves as been around for almost 70 years, BTW.
