Stainless steel rail code 250
Posted by ArthurRaynolds on Tuesday, March 7, 2006 3:50 PM
Good afternoon,
I've finally mastered the complexities of signing in to your system with thanks to Mary Graf.
Are there any manufactures out there who make code 250 stainless steel rail? Does anyone make code 250 in brass?

The Mountain Southern Railway has 135 feet operational * with a mixture of aluminum and NS rail. All of the track is scratch built and I really love building switches. My railway is RC/battery powered and is such a relief to me that I don't have to worry about cleaning track or worrying about electrical circuts. The asterisk denotes the rail service, like with CSX's Gulf Coast track is temporary out of service due to a tree branch crashing down on one bridge and damaging another. The mainline bridge is in the shop now being repaired.

Welcome aboard, Arthur!

These folks have about the best bang for the buck in 250 brass flex track. http://www.amstrains.com/AM39101.htm I bought mine from St. Aubins for about $140 a box. The delivery charges can be a killer as a 5’ box gets a $30 oversize whammy from UPS. Buy it local if you can.

Sunset Valley has 250 in aluminum, brass, nad nickel silver http://www.svrronline.com/TrackandRail.html

Llagas Creek is another 250 manufacturer.

I haven' run across a 250 stainless steel rail mfgr. yet but Aristo-Craft is rumored to have some in the works.

Hope this gets you started. [:)]
