Rail

We offer three types of code 250 rail, which come in 6ft lengths.

• Aluminum: made from aircraft quality type 6063-T6, anodized and heat treated to be strong and weather resistant. It is the most economical. We do not recommend this for track powered trains.
• Brass: Made from type 360 alloy, strong, malleable and weathers into a beautiful dark color. Our most popular material.
• Stainless steel: Made from type 304 alloy, the same alloy as household cutlery and saucepans. This is completely corrosion proof and very strong.

Powering your layout

Battery power or live steam can run on any of the materials we offer. Many modelers paint the sides of the aluminum and stainless rail as these would otherwise stay bright and shiny for many years.
