Hi! I'm starting to build my own track equipment with the help of templo, but I don't know where to buy track gauges, rail, ties, etc. I'm modelling standard N scale (1:160) not 2mm. The only track gauge and rails I know is the Micro Engineering's but importing from USA is a bit expensive, there is not any retailer in ebay that use to be cheaper than normal web stores. I don't know if 2mm gauge is valid for standard N scale track building or I could have problems with my material. Any recommendatio would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. Regards, Antonio. |

Hi Antonio N gauge isn't really my thing, but I do use 2mm Scale Association stuff for 4mm scale narrow gauge so I can tell you that gauges for 2mm scale won't work with N gauge. Have you visited the N Gauge Society website at http://ngaugesociety.com/ ? Hopefully that'll point you in the right direction. You should be able to get everything you need from them. |

Hi Antonio, Depending on the materials you are using you could try :- http://www.smpscaleway.com/ They sell parts to make copperclad track with code 75 rail if that is what you require. The items that Paul mentions are excellent if you want chaired track ( and have good eyesight ) Rob |
