Have you tried Fruil ATL-06?

Thought ATL-25 would be more sufficient or even ATL-116 mirrored tracks

Another question
Friul tracks require assembly
and apparently modification (drilling, and possibly
the replacement of the pins provided)

All of this is currently not possible for me

Are there metal tracks that are pre-assembled,
or at least that do not require modification
to be replaced

Thanks in advance.

ps - respect to all those who have the skills
to make those Friuls work...
your finished products are terrific!

Fruils do not require modification,some require the holes bring cleaned out with a thumb drill,and pins are not a necessity as the supplied wire works fine.

I apologize if for some reason you can't physically handle them,but really I am surely no expert,they require no special skills.

Due to the nature of casting, the odd link might need the pre-cast holes cleaning out with a mini drill 0.5mm I think, it's very soft white metal so not a problem. The kits come with a length of wire which you cut into appropriate lengths for the width of the links and insert from one side, then a spot of superglue to fix. Out of all after market tracks they're probably the easiest, even if not the cheapest.....sit in a comfy chair with a tray on your lap, favourite TV show on, and favourite drink at the side!!

No, they can be blackened with acids if you wish, but easy enough to paint as usual, maybe give them a metal primer coat first

With Friule track I get some standard staples. I bend the staple from a "U" shape to an "L" shape. I then push the long straight side through the track using the shorter side to push with. When I am done I come back and clip off any excess that protrudes. If I want to blacken the track I wash it with soap and water using a toothbrush first then use the blackening liquid. If I want to paint them, use a metal primer first.
