I am working on building a Walthers double track truss bridge in N scale for my new layout. The layout is being built with Atlas Code 55 track and turnouts. I was wondering what the community would recommend for track, bridge ties and making guard rails for this bridge. Currently I'm planning on having a single span. This is the first layout where I’ve incorporated bridges without build-in track.
TG3 LOOK ! LISTEN ! LIVE ! Remember the 3.
Micro Engineering Bridge Flex Track - code 55. Guard rails are included.
I have the right to remain silent. By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.
Yes I agree, ME code 55 bridge track; realistic and fine scale.
The gardrails need to be glued along the rails.
But I'm not happy how gluing rails on plastic ties ended.
I have used PC board and replaced some track ties with them (fastrack PC ties)
I take of the copper were needed to avoid any short.
I do it this way because in time, I have found some of gardrails don't stay glued especialy when you clean track
We all know is quiet difficult to glue something on the plastic ties so I Prefer to use some PC board and solder the gardrails on it.
Never had any trouble anymore with unglued gardrails.
Looks like Micro Engineering is the way to go. I certainly like the looks of their product. Which also seems to be one of their few items that seems to be back ordered everywhere. I may have to do some scrounging to locate what I need. My "local" store unfortunately does not carry any Micro Engineering products.
