Custom Trax On30
Posted by Fouled Anchor on Friday, March 21, 2014 11:36 AM

I am planning to use Custom Trax's On30 flex and turnouts. Has anyone used them? Pros and cons? I have the demo version of AnyRail which does not have Custom Trax but hope it will when I buy it.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 Steve,

  I have not used Custom Trax, but I did see an HO layout that used it.  A small range of track, and some somewhat flexible lengths of track.  The trains ran quite good, but as the owner explained - It is sort of expensive.

  I looked at the AnyRail  'on-line' manual and I do not see a track library for Custom Trax - You might want to send them an email and find out if they do plan to support it or if there is another track library that is a substitute.

According to their website, Custom Trax offers S scale and HO scale standard gauge track, no On30 track.

Sir Madog, although not shown on the main pages, it is listed on their order form. Probably trying to save on the web site design.

Thanks jrbernier. Good idea. Right now I am using regular HO for designing, and if they do not, the HO plan centerlines should suffice, I would hope. It is nice looking track. I was surprised it wasn't more expensive.

 

Thank you sir.
