It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

Howdy,

I bought some used HO scale code 70 flex track a while back and was looking at some the other night and it's stamped on the bottom "TOP Track". I've never heard of it before or seen any sort of reference to it. It's pretty well detailed, not quite as nice as Central Valley tie strips, but much better than Atlas, with approximately in-scale ties, spikes (spike heads), tie plates and wood grain in the ties. The ties themselves are hollowed out underneath, not solid and look to be styrene, and are colored not quite black and not quite brown, but somewhere in between, kind of a dark, dusky blackish-gray-brown sort of color. The ties look to have "branch line" type spacing to them.

Has anybody heard of this brand before and know any more about it?
