track problem

Posted by snowey on Saturday, February 9, 2002 1:33 AM

I need help with something. Does anyone know if Atlas makes Flex-track in CCode 80? I'm not talking about SUPER-FLEX track. I mean regular, code 80 Flex-track. If not, does anyone know if anyone else does? I'll use SUPER-FLEX if I have to, but I'd rather not.

I did that, & I also e-mailed them, but they never got back to me.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What is wrong with the 'Super Flex'?

I don't get it either. And for that matter, what's the difference between "flex" and "Super Flex?"
I went to Atlas' web site yesterday but found no answers.

"SUPER-FLEX" is a really, really, big pain in the butt! That's what I meant!

The difference is, "FLEX-TRACK" is just that. You can bend it to any position, and it will stay in that position. "SUPER-FLEX", you can also bend into any position, but as soon as you let go, it becomes straight again.

I don't know if this will help, but Peco make a line of track in code 75 including flex track and matching switches/crossings/slip switches.

It's not carried by all the shops, even the ones that have Peco's code 100, but its nice track.

You might have to go to a big city shop to get it.
