I've been following track prices and Micro Engineering track seems to have a better price point vs. Atlas. Are there any problems joining it to Atlas turnouts? I plan on using non-weathered as the weathered rail is "resistant" to being flexed, hence the straight "shooting stand" instead of the initially-planned curved platform.
Thanks.
Matt,
I saw the same price compairison & like you,did the numbers. The only thing I didn't calculate was that Atlas flex is 40" vs Microengineering is 36" in length. Their,(the Micro),looks really good though. Think I found a really good offer at MicroMark at 1 time.
I think I'm going to be selling out if things keep heading "south" so-to-speak.
I have used Atlas flex that came from another layout that I bought off a modeler on this Forum last year. Being used,you find things such as a few broken pastic ties or spike heads,which is no problem to me would be great for my layout. He must've had mountain scenes as 10 sections have been sprayed white. They flex ok though. They average 38"-40" in length with some that were bent,having short rails on 1 end & alonger 1 on the other end,but this is the exception not the rule.
I haven't madea final decision,but if I sell,will sell for $7 per section.
Great loco & trackwork!!
My compliments.
