I've found a brass rail section intended for garden railways that
exactly matches Hornby tinplate rail and I was wondering about hand
laying this on wooden sleepers. Then again Peco SM32 track has a good
appearance for Coarse '0', - the only fault being that some tinplate
loco and wheel profiles are coarse enough to just touch the rail
fixings. It is possible to shave back the plastic just enough so that
nothing touches, - but it is a real pain having to do it. Tenmille
bullhead rail and chairs for garden railways are nicely shaped and
clear these old wheels just fine, - which makes me wonder if Tenmille
has yard lengths of flexible track since the job of cutting about a
million wooden sleepers doesn't appeal to me much.
I was thinking of using code 100 as conductor rail by the way.

Anne.
