Title: Scale tracks for On30 by Bachmann?
Post by: reddobiefan on December 28, 2008, 04:22:50 PM
Hello, Is there any possibility that Bachmann will put out track and switches that is scaled for your On30 line of cars? I'm looking for ties that look more ture to scale then the HO track that is now used. Thanks

Peco makes 3' track in ON30 - a bit pricy at $10+ each (as well as switches).  An alternative from Bachmann would be nice!

Peco and Micro Engineering both make flextrack and switches with wider, more greatly spaced ties to represent O scale 30" gauge track.  If you poke around you can find the Peco for $8 or so a section.  The price on all track seemed to spike when the price of metal got high over the summer.   The ME turnouts are a little cheaper.

Some guys just hand-lay the track for a scale appearance, but I've never priced that out to determine how it compares.
