LGB rail in Nickel Silver

[Gslearner]

Does anyone know of a supplier of Nickel Silver rail that is the same cross-section as LGB brass rail?

LGB used to make it.

You might pick it up second hand.

But it is rare.

Peco make code 250 which can be joined to code 332 LGB (other makes available) with their joiner adapters. Dunny can advise here....

I think the other LGB rail was Stainless Steel, highly expensive. Peco G45 250 is certainly N/S and they do a joiner to attach to LGB 332 rail that can be insulated or using the slips of metal for power connection.

Does the Peco track work with LGB rolling stock, bearing in mind LGB's substantial depth of flange?

Yes except for the very old stuff which in some but not all cases can bump along the chairs a little but run through the point frogs ok.

While it does nothing to answer the OP's question, for general information, on this forum back in 2014 someone wrote . . .



The first bit is confirmed in this from the 2006 Catalogue . . .



Catalogue numbers started with "14" . . .

I have a full yellow box of 1 foot LGB NICKEL track (12 pieces). This box does not weigh much and can not be plated brass!! This box has a similiar weight to just 2 pieces of the LGB 1 foot brass. Perhaps LGB changed how they made the 'nickel' track in later years??

The Nickel-plated track was only introduced in 2006 (and met its demise when LGB declared bankrupcy, i presume).

A yellow box means very early in LGB's existence. Does the box say "Nickel"? Or might it be the track with chrome-plated aluminium rails that LGB offered at the outset (alongside their brass ones). This is from their 1968 catalogue . . .

Are you *sure* it is nickel?

LGB did make aluminium track, at one point. - Now that is really light!
