Is anyone familiar with MicroEngineering sectional G gauge track ?
How does it hold up ?
Can it be used outside ?
Does it match up with other brands of track ? (They don't offer switches.)
Thanks, in advance.
A recently passed member of SVGRS used microengineering code 250 nickel silver rail for YEARS in both Santa Clara and Lincoln Hills CA. We've got it now, and are looking for a home for it. Nickel Silver is very tough, lasts forever, and the ties have held up well. We're clearing some 250 plus or minust feet at $2.50 per foot (that's two rails and ties). I've heard no one complain about this track, and so far on this thread, no one else has either!
Yes.
And yes.
I have about a dozen sections theat were placed in the empire around 1997~1999(?). We experimented with several brands at first. When SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) decided she prefered the patina that developed on LGB brass best, that is the route we took. After about three years of use, I came home one day to find her with spray paint in hand adding "patina" to all the non-LGB rails. All but the Atlas is still in the dirt doing just fine.
