I'm working on a diorama that requires 1/35 scale railroad track. I'm hoping to find some metal rails in that scale....the plastic kit rails I've come across are....less than impressive.
Any suggestions (metal and/or plastic) for recreating great 1/35 track?
Thanks!

Looks like MiniArt is getting into the railroad business, they recently announced the following items in 1/35 European Gauge. I'm guessing availability will follow soon. HTH.

If you can find a Model Railroad Store , you might be able to buy or order lengths of rail . Try to get #1 Gauge ( 1/32 scale ) made by Marklin Trains . Also the store should have bass wood #1 scale ties so you can hand lay your own roadbed . Its been a few years since I've bought any RR stuff , so I really don't know the health of the hobby Walthers was / is a huge US based Model RR supplier , you might try them if they have a web store , But I think that MiniArt's will be cheaper

Jake, here's the one I was looking for. Sunset Valley Railroad LLC
They make rail in Aluminum, Brass, Ni-Silver and Stainless.
Expensive but it looks really good.
