Wotan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Dear All, Im looking at making some track and points for N and was wondering what the smallest rail section is practical on those wheels that have a larger flange depth than the newer UK wheels?? Does anyone have any experience? Does code 40 Flatbottom work or code 55? many thanks In advance Michael Edited July 13, 2017 by Wotan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigo Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Many years ago when I was modelling German N gauge, I experimented with handbuilt track and found code 55 to be the best. The flanges can be up to 0.9mm (0.035") deep, which means on code 40 flat bottom rail they can touch the base of the rail. Even with code 55 soldered construction is needed, not rail spikes.
