Ross power section track photos

I didn't even know that Ross had a power section track!  I looked at their Track Products Page and I don't see anything like that.  Can you be more specific?

I'm using RailModeller Pro software listing Ross as having power section straight track that are 14.5" and 29" long and 042 curves.

Ross does have what they call "personalization" of each piece where for $4.95 they add power clips for easy installation.

Gargraves has a terminal/accessory control section that you might be thinking of.  Connects easily to Ross.

Here is what I do:

Interesting, I couldn't find that when I searched on the Ross site.   When I was building, I never even looked for a power section, I just solder to the track.  When I look for those numbers on the Ross site, I get crickets.

They may have changed how they do this.  Instead of specific power track, you can get any track with power clips.  Click open any track section (curve or straight) and you will see the "Personnalization" tab.  Not sure what these clips look like but would make things a lot easier than soldering.  I just like to solder.

FYI, AnyRail shows those parts as 14.6" and 29.3", but the Railmodeler lengths agree with what's shown on the website for those parts. I have no idea which is correct.

John - if you look at each track web page on the right side there is a button to select 'add power clips'. I seem to remember a while back (maybe three years or more) I asked Ross about the power clips. I think I was told they look like the old Lionel lock on sections so were kind of big and bulky.

Right you are Joe!   I guess that was so uninteresting to me that I never spotted it! To be truthful, I spend almost all my time looking at the switches.  Other than a bunch of O72 curves, I didn't buy any Ross sectional track, most of my track was Gargraves Flex, three cases of it.

Something like these could be what Ross is adding to the track.  And like Joe said, they will look like the old Lionel lock on once installed.

Gargraves also has these Pigtails that I think would look better that the clips.  Use instead of track pins.  Legacy Station says they are 16 AWG which is a good size for the drop.
