Description
The Micro Engineering 10-108 is a 6-piece pack of HO Code 55 (0.055" rail height) non-weathered flex track in 36" / 914mm lengths — ultra-fine rail that captures the look of light prototype rail on branch lines, shortlines, industrial spurs and dock trackage. 18 ft / 5.5m of track per box.
About Micro Engineering Flex-Trak: Micro Engineering is the gold standard for prototypical fine-scale track among serious modellers. Distinguishing features — scale-size moulded ties, tie plates, and spike heads (real spike geometry, visible at viewing distance) and irregular tie spacing that matches real-railroad practice (uniform-spaced model track instantly reads as "model"; ME's variation reads as "real"). Natural brown tie colour, nickel-silver rail.
About rail Code: The Code number is the rail height in thousandths of an inch — Code 100 = 0.100" (the original train-set standard); Code 83 = 0.083" (modern HO mainline standard); Code 70 = 0.070" (branch line, secondary track); Code 55 = 0.055" (fine mainline, lighter branch); Code 40 = 0.040" (super-fine N, secondary / industrial track). Code 55 rail suits equipment with RP-25 fine-scale wheelsets — very deep vintage flanges may ride the spike heads.
