Description
The Micro Engineering 12-126 is a 6-piece pack of N scale Code 40 (0.040" rail height) pre-weathered flex track — the finest commercially-available N rail, used for prototypically-correct lightweight branch line, industrial spurs, and yard tracks.
Wheel-flange compatibility (Code 40): Code 40 is the finest commercially-available N scale rail. Modern locomotives and rolling stock with NMRA RP-25 low-profile flanges run smoothly. Older N equipment with deeper flanges may have flanges that ride up on the spike heads — check your fleet's wheel profile before committing a layout to Code 40.
Weathered finish: Factory-applied rust patina on the rail web and dirt-coloured ties — the track is ready-to-use with a realistic just-installed-and-weathered appearance, saving you the airbrush time of weathering by hand. Non-weathered (10-xxx series) versions have bright nickel-silver rail and clean ties ready for your own weathering choices.
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.
