Mixing rails


Recommended Posts

I have a few rookie questions:

1. Can I mix Nickel silver rails with steel rails? Apart from the difference in looks, (which I'm not bothered about as the Nickel silver part of the track is 'off-scene') is there some electrical/chemical reason why this is or isn't advisable?

2. Only about 1.5 metres of three tracks will be visible in the foreground of the layout, and I wanted this track to be SMP/Exactoscale/C&L in oo gauge. Can I join them to cheaper peco code 75 'off scene' without too much trouble? I'm not too worried about height difference, as I can jack up the join so it's smooth...

3. Are there any manufacturers of steel railed turnouts? I gather Peco's are all Nickel Silver (turnout kits are too expensive to contemplate right now)

I'm just thinking the look of steel track is what I'm after...

 

taa much
