Hi,

I known DML has a kit with a track embankment #3825. I'm not sure if it's available because it's out of production.





You also have this one from Ironside

On the pricey side, CMK makes a resin set.

About $34!!! There's a whole kit for that price!

Greetings All, For even more realistic rail go to your local hobby shop that sells model train stuff and buy a length of Atlas HO flex track. It comes as code 100 or code 83. Code 100 should be close to the weight of rail appropriate for European track.
....
luck and have fun! Scott


Wouldn't them be too small for 1/35 ?

O gauge it's about 1/48 if I remember.

Right On their Tuga Ho would be way to small good for real narrow gauge.Heck I use to do trains too.
But as I said just use the T stuff and cut some basswood ties ,now if you really want to get with it make them tieplates out of some plastic sheet where the rail lies on the wood and what ever just remember that old stuff used smaller ties then today so check on old German rail road stuff and have at it heck you might want to start model railroading after

Oh forgot not ever tie is nailed down check it out ,don't know how germans did it been awhile since I have been to the BANNHOFF.

Greetings All, The last posts are correct. Please forgive my brain Fart. My assertion the HO scale rail will work was false. I was mislead by my muse last night. To ease my embarrasement I have deleted that post. For 1/32 scale trains, code 250 reprsents a fairly heavy mainline rail. It has a nice cross section is would work well for armor dios. Code 250 rail can be purchased individually in 6' lenths from hobby shops that sell to the garden railroad crowd. It's made in alluminum, brass or nickel silver by Micro Engineering. They also make beefier realistic spikes that work in larger scales. this page will correct my previous post.
