Atlas Code 55 track;
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 4, 2005 6:04 PM
Is anyone on this forum in N-Scale and using Atlas Code-55 track?
I'm just curious as to any problems that might "Pop up" with this track.
I'm not concerned about wheel flange and the size of the rail as I know all of my equipment will operate on Code 55 rail.
I'll probably use #7 turnouts with Caboose Ind. ground throws along with Atlas's Flex-track.
Thanks,
gtr

Just dont use it for tight radii. If you bend it to lets say anything below 15'', it might cause stress and derailments, etc. I am using pre-cut Atlas 55 for any loops. Otherwise, you should be in good shape.
