TRACK FOR TINPLATE
Posted by Jim Hornaday on Monday, January 15, 2018 11:48 AM

Hello all!

So, after quite a lot of thinking, I have decided to go back to my roots and build an O gauge layout! Long story short, I have become enamoured with the MTH reproductions of classic Lionel Standard & O gauge trains. My question is; what track should I use for the Standard gauge? Menards sell the old tubular 3 rail/black tie track and I was looking at that.

Thanks for the help!!

Both MTH and GarGraves make Standard gauge track.

In 2016 USA Track LLC  resumed production of track formerly made by EBR Products. The Standard gauge track features tinplated steel rails, heavy gauge steel ties, nickel-plated steel track pins, and fiber insulators. Track offered includes full and half-straights and curves and a variety of options for the number of ties on your track. Half-straights (2, 3 or 5 ties), full straights (4, 6, or 11 ties), 36-inch straights (7, 13, or 25 ties). Half-curves with 42-inch-diameter (3 or 5 ties), full curves with 42-inch-diameter (5, 9, or 13 ties), full curves with 57-inch-diameter (5 or 9 ties), full curves with 72-inch-diameter (6 or 11 ties), full curves with 84-inch-diameter (7 or 13 ties), and full curves with 87-inch-diameter (7 or 13 ties).
