Description
The Micro Engineering 16-083 is a 33-piece bundle of HO Standard Gauge scale Code 83 (weathered (factory rust patina)) bulk rail — 3-foot lengths, 99′ total per bundle. Code 83 is the modern HO mainline standard — the right rail height for prototypical HO scale modelling, replacing the older oversized Code 100.
About bulk rail: Bulk rail is sold without ties — for handlaid track, custom turnout/crossover work, or repair / spare-rail stock. Spike it onto your own wood / PC-board / plastic ties using the Code-appropriate spikes and tie plates.
Weathered finish: Factory-applied rust patina on the rail web — the rail is ready to spike onto your own ties with a realistic just-installed-and-weathered appearance, saving you the airbrush time of weathering by hand.
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.
