ME Products--Track

I am pleased to announce that as of May of 2012, Cumberland Model Engineering has acquired the F scale track products formerly marketed by Iron Creek Shops. These include both dual gauge and standard gauge plastic tie strip, 3-point track gages, and brass roller gages. In addition to tie strip, we are now offering 6' panels of assembled track in either 1:20.3 standard gauge or dual gauge. Turnout fixtures and components are also in the works.

Wheel & Track Standards for standard gauge modeling in F scale (that is, F Gauge), may be found here.

Ordering may be done via personal check or money order. For more information on ordering, please see the Contact page.

F Standard & Dual Gauge Flex Track

1:20.3 standard and dual gauge track is offered assembled in 6' lengths consisting of 8 sections of tie strip and either two or three 6' lengths of rail as appropriate (your choice of Llagas Creek code 250 or 215 aluminum or nickel silver rail). Code 250 rail is roughly equivalent to 85 lbs. rail and is suitable for yards and other industrial trackage. Code 215 rail represents 65 lbs rail and is suitable for modeling 3' narrow gauge as well as 19th century standard gauge prototypes.

Track ships in boxes of up to 10 sections each. Rail joiners not included. Quantity discounts are available.

Flex track comes in either standard gauge (left) or dual gauge (right). Code 250 rail pictured. Flex track is not offered ballasted or weathered as above. Rusty rail at left is aluminum painted w/ Krylon rust primer. Nickel Silver does not require painting when used out-of-doors and weathers to a prototypical grey-brown. Ballast is sand and gravel with Portland cement mixed in.
