track wanted

[Choppercook]

I want to replace all my old Peco plastic track with good brass track , I need to replace 69ft of straights , 53ft of bends and 6 sets of points, , any suggestions where I can get them from ? new or second hand

 

[Gizzy]

Quite a lot of track needed there.

What Radii are your bends?

Second hand R1 curves are cheap enough on Ebay and second hand and they can be straightened if required? Expect to pay £3-4 a foot.

Again what points are you wanting?

I guess LGB R3 points are close to Peco ones....

I have 6 LGB Radius 3 Right Hand points @£25 each as well as 7 LGB R1 points - 6 Right 1 Left @£20 each for sale as well as an LGB Double Slip @ £50. I also have 6 LGB R1 curves @ £2.50 each. All the track is used and the points do not have motors.

You can run your battery locos on LGB track without any problems. The LGB track is made of brass. I can send you a photo if that helps

I don't think it is Peco track? - Not even Piko.

I think it is the plastic track supplied by East Coast Railway, which is the Nequida / Train brand, so it will be equivalent to LGB R1 curves and points.

my garden railway

I need roughly 75m of dual gauge track, what size is the rail of your old track and is it brass or nickel silver rail?

I could be interested in the old rail.

 

[Choppercook]

NO , it is cheep Nequida G scale track all plastic

I have an unknown number of LGB 30cm straights surplus to requirement you can have. I'll try and sort out what I've got this coming weekend,

 

[Choppercook]

Thank you very much

 

[playmofire]

I have something like a dozen so far. Some need connectors, but this may not be so important with battery power as the rails will be held in place by the track either end. I have R curves surplus too.

 

[Choppercook]

lovey very interested

lovey very interested

I come down to Norfolk fairly frequently most years (King's Lynn and Hunstanton way but do travel) so we could do a handover some time.

 

[Choppercook]

That be great , I live in Attleborough

 

[dunnyrail]

I have some LGB R1 curves and short stapraights, send me message via the forum if you are interested and will sort out to do a deal.

Oh and Peco do not do plastic railed track. Lest anyone should think Peco is inappropriate in the garden I have had Peco yard lengths and points in my 3 garden railways continuously outside since 1988 or so.
