    Jens Wimmel from Zettzeit made a fantastic Job by comparing all available Tracks and Turnouts in our Scale. The Article is in German but has lot of pictures.

    That Milled PC board track looks very good, and looks very strong too! I could not tell who manufactures it though, as I don't read German well enough yet. :D

    Jepp, that's König. I must ask him if he want to make American tie spaces and Turnouts.

    The tie (sleeper for our U.K. folk) spacing isn't that bad. It's better than the Peco/Marklin, much closer to U.S. but the tie height is 1mm, pretty high. The code 40 will look really nice in macro shots but for layout compatibility, it means a lot of transition joiners. The really nice thing is the larger angle turnouts and cross overs, perfect for yards. With ballasting, very likely blend in.
