Concrete slab or "ballastless" track


Recommended Posts

Has anyone attempted to model concrete slab or "ballastless" track? I am reasonably certain no proprietary track is available (HO scale 1:87) and I'm left wondering if anyone's attempted to adapt off-the-shelf components? Individual chairs and rail would seem to be the most realistic prospect but I'm curious if anyone's had a go.

The first 3 photos below are the kind of effect I'm after (taken in a Spain a couple of years ago, metre gauge) but the last photo shows a similar generic type.

Thanks for that. I've had a search and it would appear to be N only. I'm after something a little more finescale looking, so am wondering if plastic sheet sections, a centre drainage channel and individual chairs might be the way to go. I need a couple of straight sections only, so that makes things easier. I'll keep looking though.
