I want to hand lay track like the recent download described but I cant seem to find where I can buy rail, brass or aluminum. I live in Ontario, Canada. Can anyone help?

I think SVRR and Llagas Creek Railways rail are pretty popular. It seeems Warrior Run Locomotive Works has the best prices on Llagas Creek track/rail. Keep us posted.

Balsam,

 

I believe you can buy brass rail from Aristo-Craft, but you might have to give them a call to confirm. Switchcrafters sells aluminum rail in Codes 332, 250 and 215 along with tie material and spikes and a spiking tool. Old Pullman advertises Code 250 and 205 nickel silver rail, along with ties and spikes.

 

SwitchCrafter's web site:

Old Pullman's web site:

Hope this helps.
