<p>Rex;</p><p>Have a look at ebay; track is expensive here in Australia and that is why i go for our club rail in 3.69 m (12') lengths, less joins too. I pay about A$350 for 20 lengths of 3.69 m so thats 120 ' and i had to pay for sleepers (ties) as much again on top of that. I have 600 m and i didn't do it all in one go; i have had about 4 major expansions so i have defrayed the cost over several years.</p><p>It came out here on the forum that i also have nearly A$3000 worth of points (switches) as well. So its not cheap but after a while you get used to it. Look carefully at what you get terminology wise; ie rail length or track length one is twice the other and what about sleepers?.</p><p>Some people use flextrack for straights and buy bends on ebay but don't go fro less than R3 if you can, most available are R1 not nice at all. </p><p>$A X .78 = US$</p><p>Rgds Ian</p>
