Hi Guys,
I met a guy yesterday who is into gauge 1, but everything about his models are home made, not a single commercial product. I promised him to help building track more easily. You might find the following pictures interesting. He has build a mold from steel and he casts his own track from contcrete. You can follow the whole process here:

Another gallery on how he changed his old wooden track to all concrete roadbed:

He uses brass rods for the rails and forms them under heat between rollers. This proved to be very time consuming and the rollers weared over time, so he is looking at buying rails to use. I told him about Peco gauge 1 bulkhead rail, but I guess there are others on the market to consider.
Can you advice where to buy rails? Since this is gauge 1 we are looking up to code 250 rails. I guess this is primarily Peco, Tenmille or some US rails. Can you also give me dimensions of the rail? Unfortunately my Peco catalogue is hidden somewhere in the basement and I have no idean where to find it.
