Timber Tracks mark a radical new departure in track construction. For years we have been saying that model railway trackwork should ‘flow’ and be designed as a whole, rather than as turnouts ‘stitched’ together by lengths of plain track. Instead of individual sleepers and turnout timbers, (although these are also available), the system is based on laser cut turnout bases and track panels. Each panel is flexible, so you can create sweeping curved turnouts and track.

Confused by difficult to learn track creation software? You do not need it - just a ‘back of envelope’ idea will get you started. Use the panels to plan your layout – adjust it as necessary, then glue down the timbers. The connecting bars can be cut away easily, but they could be left, for in most cases they will be hidden under the rails. Now you can ballast – far easier with no chair and rails to get in the way. Carry out lineside scenics too if you wish. Then add chairs and rail – glued down with Butanone in the usual way. Ordered the wrong item, or want to make a change? As long as it is pristine, send it back with return postage in stamps and we will exchange it.

4mm and 7mm products now available.

Sleepers, Strips, Turnout and Track Bases are cut from 3mm ply, which is compatible with our Flexitrack and other 7mm plastic components.

We are also happy to supply these in a 1.6mm ply, which is a good weight saver, when constructing portable and exhibition layouts.

You ask us for Track Spikes and tell us they are difficult to obtain. So we have stocks in 4 sizes.
