USA Track, New Standard Gauge Track at Henning's Trains

Bill,

You have a very nice product.   As I contemplate expanding my Christmas tinplate layout I will certainly consider your track.   Now, if I could find some quality switches.......

Norm

Nice!
Looking to make a small loop for my standard gauge trains.
Question on the us of stainless pins. From my prior experience with stainless doe it not have a higher resistances from steel. I once used stainless steel washers on a Motorcycle between the battery post and the washers got real hot. Also working with larger powers supplies stainless was shun upon. Just a question.

Will USA trains be making switches or crossovers?

Norm, take a look at the Standard Gauge switches made by Ross Custom Switches.  They are excellent!

(In the low voltage, low amperage, world of toy trains, stainless is the ideal track pin material.)

Kirk and USA track have a great product. I used the track for my layout and was truly impressed with the quality of the track. 

Unwrapping the track, you almost feel like you found brand new track made in the 30's stashed in an attic and forgotten.

I'll vouch for Kirk and Chris - great track. The Ross std tinplate switches are nothing short of awesome.

Glad to see Henning's carrying such a truly world-class product!

Excellent!  A few years back I bought from Kirk, first rate operation.  Bill, how about 54" curves?  Not all of us have an acre of real estate in the basement. LOL!

I use the 57" track offered by USA Track

I have USA curves and the quality of the track is outstanding! 

What radii will Hennings be stocking or is all pre order?

Thanks,

Great track; very well-made, and prompt, friendly service from Kirk.  With USA Track and Ross SG switches, there has never been a better time to run Standard Gauge trains than right now.

Right now we have:

14"- 4 tie straight, 36" - 13 tie straight,  42"-  5 tie curved,  72"  - 6 tie curved,  84" - 7 tie curved, in stock.  Stainless steel pins are also in stock.

We will be receiving 14"  6 tie straights in January.  Others as Chris & Kirk 's line is produced.

Thank you.  Harry 

I use USA Standard Gauge Track on my Christmas Carpet Central Railway and it is absolutely a first class quality product.  Along with Rick Johnson's Standard Gauge rubber roadbed my Standard Gauge engines and rolling stock track beautifully.  My layout is 6x12 with 072 curves on my outer loop. 

Henning's is awesome, but to keep our track reasonably affordable we have decided to sell direct only.  We can still be found at-

www.standardgaugetrack.com

The Ross Custom switches standard gauge switch is still the best on the market.  They can be ordered directly from Ross-

Confused? WHO makes the Henning's track??

USA Track is a great product, their website, not so much. Visited it a few weeks ago and wondered what had happened. My takeaway was that the company was defunct. Glad to learn otherwise.

Jon, sorry about the website.  It crashed at the beginning of the pandemic and I couldn't get help to get it back up.  I finally figured it out myself, but everyone will still have to contact me to order, which I think is better anyway.  A few emails can is all it takes!

Hennings was selling USA Track for about a year, but with the increasing cost of materials we just could not afford to add a dealer margin any longer and still keep the prices reasonable. So, direct sales of track, and Henning's for everything else! They are a great shop.

Kirk

Kirk: Thank you for clarifying that! 

Hi Kirk,  Just sent  you an email for order.  Thanks!!
