I just bought a standard gauge train with some track the track has printed on the tie kmt. Is that a track brand or something else. Yes once I finish fixing the engine I will post pictures of the train

Hi, KMT manufactured track many years ago. Have fun with your new purchase!

It's interesting to learn that KMT made standard gauge track. AFAIK, they never made any standard gauge trains, and making SG track during the time KMT was active seems like an odd product.
I looked at the Western Division's manufacturer info - a great resource BTW - http://www.tcawestern.org/kusan.htm I didn't see any mention of standard gauge track. I don't know if anyone updates those pages, but this might be an unusual find that they should be notified of.
@traindork - could you post a picture? @CP BOB, do you know approximately when KMT made that track?
I'm thinking it was produced in the 70's and 80's. I first acquired a loop of 72 curves when I first got into Standard Gauge in 2013. At the time, I went to a train store near LA and bought a new looking loop of track. I was told it new. After putting it together, the track did not make a concentric circle. I asked around at our club meeting and found out it had not been made in years. Through this forum I was able to get USA track. Needless to say I was not happy with the train store, and they lost my business. I was able to use the KMT track here and there. It seems to be well made. I'll text some of our club members and try to get more info. Kris Model Trains comes to mind as a possibility. Wish I had more,
Bob
