I use to use E-Z Track and found it dose not have the realistic look nor dose it work with other track . So I converted to Code 80 track. The Atlas N scale Code 80 Flex Track cuts the work time down with the 29.5 inch sections for large straight tack runs and in the curves where needed. I love the way it works and recommend it to all Train Hobby Enthusiast eBay member Robert Timmons, (Army Airborne, ret)

The Atlas Company has been around a long time, consistently improving it's products. It was invented by a model railroader for model railroaders. The originator or flex-track, Atlas makes a track that is easy to work with and strong. Today, Atlas gets low marks in the areas of look and rail. Many new companies now imitate Atlas' design with lighter code rail, with realistic profiles, and ties in realistic colors. These brands deserve the high marks they receive. However, they are also more difficult to bend, cut, file, and solder. If you plan to build a large layout on a budget, Atlas is your brand. It is reliable, reasonably priced, easy to use, easy to wire, and mistakes aren't costly. With a little paint it can look nearly as good as more expensive brands.

PLUS: You can bend it to just about any radius the train or trolley will still operate on, very versitile for those layouts with multiple obsticles (terrain, rivers, boulders, etc) and bends ("S" curves), can be nailed or glued down to surfaces. Negatives: Does not come with rail connectors, you have to purchase those separately. Ties tend to break easily if too large of a wire nail is used. A coating of some sort used in making the product is on the rails and must be removed before attempting to solder the rail joints or the solder will not stick. Summation: A very good product with many applications but one has to use some care and common sense in using it. If you "kink" a rail it can not be effectively straightened again.

Much easier to use than lighter rail like MicroEngineering and more flexible than Peco. Once airbrushed with rail or rust color, the size of the code 80 rail is not noticeable or distracting. Provides flawless running of all n-scale equipment and much stronger than Atlas code 55 track. Recommended for all but most advanced modeler.

Well built flex track Tie spacing is realistic and any old thing will run on it. Railroad tie brown paint will cover the black ties for added realism
