Where to buy Code 83 rail?
Posted by jbu50 on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 1:49 PM

Hello all

 I'm starting a new project this week. I'm building a 2'x8' switching layout using all Code 83. I am planning to handlay all the rail AND the turnouts. Yes I am a glutton for punishment. Never handlaid either so this out to be a real challenge, But my question is, where can I buy Code 83 rail? I checked Walthers website catalog and they don't have a listing for just rail. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find Code 83..rail, spikes..oh and wooden ties to lay the track on.

Thanks

John

There is a thread a little further down the page entitled, "Are all rails and wooden ties the same?" that asks the same questions.
