Customer Reviews

Micro Engineering code 55 non-weathered rail is recommended for use in all Fast Tracks assembly fixtures and hand laid track in general. The rail is very precisely made from nickel silver and can be easily soldered.

Each piece is 18" long.

Why We Recommend Micro Engineering Rail

Micro Engineering rail is precision rolled and maintains very tight base and head width tolerances (+/- .001"). These precise tolerances ensure that the rail is held precisely in gauge when a Fast Tracks assembly fixture is used to build a turnout.

Note - 18" rail is cut by us from 36" rail stock. If the stock count shows that we are out of cut rail, check the stock levels of 36" rail. If it is in stock, we can produce 18" pieces to fill your order. There is no need to wait until it shows in stock to place your order.

I have found this to be a very consistent product; rail height (code) and profile make the fabrication of turnouts, and more important, the interface with "other" track mfg's predictable. I use Atlas 55 joiners and have had no problems with attaching the joiners. A bit of fiddling when connecting to micro-trains track as it seems to be code 60, but a gentle touch with a fine fine will solve this

ME rails are excellent products. Code 55 is just right for modelling HOn3. Soldered to PC board ties or glued to wood ties (QuickSticks, TwistTies, individual) they are easy to handle. Cutter, cutting disk, jeweler saw... No problem, cuts are neat. A few filing it's just what it takes to remove blur. Easy to clean with alcohol and if they were painted along with PC board ties, a lacquer thinner does the job fine.

The rail works perfectly in the FastTracks jigs. It's especially positive that you can order whatever quantity you want.
