ISO solid straight track rail

[G3750]

All:

I am looking for solid straight track rails, something like the Atlas ones. I just need the individual rails, no ties or anything else. Can someone recommend a source? How difficult is it to disassemble a piece of Atlas track to get the rails?

These are intended for use as overhead or bridge crane rails.

Thanks,

George

What code? Atlas is pretty good sized. I probably have some code 125 laying about - what length?

You can order rails for hand laying in sizes from Code 125 to 205 BUT you have to order "bundles". If you only need a few feet, aka one or two 3 foot long sections then I'd recommend buying a section of Flex track and removing the ties. Atlas O two rail is code 148 and comes apart pretty easily. I suspect the Atlas O three rail isn't that hard to disassemble once you cut the ties. A band saw should make short work of this with one cut on either side of the third rail.

I can't find my sample sections of Atlas O three rail but I think it's around Code 200.

Thanks all. We have decided to disassemble a 40" straight section of Atlas.

Length will be determined by the length of the crane bay. My Open Hearth crane bays will be at least 50" long.
