T-Gauge Tracks


Flexible Track:

Some general information on Flexible track:

Flexible track is just track & ties, but no ballast, as in the design of the straight tracks or curved tracks. It is definitely more delicate, than other items by T-Gauge.

Since the track is just ties with rails on top, it would require the modeller to design a ramp to raise and support it and to align with the standard T-Gauge track. At present there is no plan by the manufacturer to introduce a "transition piece" to enable ramping the Flex-Track to the standard track. Flex track is lighter and has not so strong a structure, and may not be able to bear the weight of the train over the short gradient up to the rigid tracks, without a proper supporting ramp.

Materials Used:
The base material for the track ties/ballast is ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene). If planning to use a glue to fix the track to the layout base or other material, please select the appropriate adhesive.
 
The rails are soft iron and can be affected by water. Some cleaning alcohols have water mixed so they should not be used for cleaning. We recommend a dry cloth and then wipe over with the Energizer/Stabilizer Pen.
 
Elmer's Glue or any water based glue will affect the rails. So water based glues are not recommended.


Gradient:

Maximum K.K. Eishindo's recommended gradient for tracks is 6%.
