Port Lines offers several different options when it comes to
track-work in S.
Prices listed do not include shipping. Quantity discounts may
be possible, depending upon size of order.
For those who are truly devoted to the Gilbert
American Flyer era, original AF track is available. Although used, it can be
cleaned and utilized with little effort. Our prices for original AF track
depend upon the quality of the track; this in turn reflects the amount of effort
you will have to devote to cleaning it before it is ready to use.
We currently have used curve track available at .50 per
section, and at $1.00 per section.
We have straight track available at $1.00 per section, at $1.50 per section, and
at $3.00 per section (very limited amount at $3).

Every American "S" Gauge Track Section from Classic Trains feature solid premium code .172 Nickel-Silver Rail Weathered with 65% Brass, 12% Nickel-Silver for optimum electrical contact, with no oxidation or rust for smooth train operation. Rail joiners are weathered and have a detailed six bolt-head design (see close-up below) and come installed on all track and switches. Ties are molded from high quality ABS plastic, UV resistant, and have a wood grain pattern that adds to the prototypical look of the track. A snap lock system securely holds the track sections together to ensure exact alignment and good electrical contact, and when track sections are joined together tie spacing remains uniform. This is an exclusive design found only with this track system. Switches are closed frog design and should allow operation of all three wheel flanges, American Flyer®, Hi-Rail, and Scale.

American Models track is solid brass rail mounted on closely-spaced plastic ties. It is available in sectional form, as well as flextrack. Solid non-corrosive brass .148 rail in height with weathered finish. All curved track is 1/12 section of a circle. Turnout curve is equal to a 1/2 section of 27" radius track. Rail joiners are included with sectional track and turnouts. Despite having a much smaller and lower profile, AF and highrail trains will operate on AM track, and through their switches with no problem. S-scale trains will also operate on AM track, but their turnouts require a slight modification to handle scale wheelsets.

NOTE: S-Helper
Service has been sold to MTH (Mike's Train House) as MTH enters the S-scale
market. It is expected that MTH will have the S-Trax track system back on
the market during the first half of 2013. See our SHS Inventory page
to determine what we still have in stock for original SHS track and other
products. With the decorated ballasted roadbed, Celcon® wood grain ties and weathered nickel silver rail, the S-Trax system is designed to operate with all A.C. Gilbert S Scale American Flyer trains. The #3 remote control and manual switches, 15" and 10" straight and 19", 24" and 29" curved tracks are now available with more components to follow as the tooling is completed. The SHS 19" radius, 30 degree section is the same radius as the American Flyer curved track. The straight sections are 10" and 15" in length. Their track system also includes rail joiners and insulated rail joiners, and feeder wires with spade clips, and a special track adapter that will join this track to American Flyer® track. A Starter Track Set is offered with twelve 19" curved radius sections and four 10" straight sections and 2 feeder wires. 40" flex track is also available. 5" straight sections, track bumper sections, third-rail accessory track sections, and automatic uncoupler track sections are currently available. A 90 degree crossing, a grade crossing, #6 frog switches and a signal system are in the design stages. |

Cork roadbed for S track. Particularly useful in combination
with flextrack track, but can be used with any S scale track..
Measures 2-1/4" wide, 3/16" thick; 36" long sections. Beveled edges.
Easily cut and bonded to benchwork.
15' --- $12.00 30' --- $20.00 75' --- $45.00 (+ shipping) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HOMABED: Using roadbed will make your tracks look much more realistic than simply nailing them down to a plywood board. And using a roadbed product gives you an intermediate surface, usually somewhat softer than plywood, to fasten the track to. This helps you avoid breaking track parts with errant hammer blows, and also makes it easier to make changes at a later time by pulling up the track nails with pliers or cutting the glue bond between the roadbed and the track. HomaBed may be used with any type track, ready made or hand-laid. It is quiet, accepts track nails and spikes easily and yet grips them tightly. After it is laid and sealed with latex paint, it is extremely stable and does not buckle under changing humidity conditions. HomaBed contains NO Asbestos or Ureaformaldehyde. It is made from Homasote®, a common product used in home construction for soundproofing and floor underlayment. |

TIES & TIE JIGS
|
Tie Jigs for track work and turnouts.
Shown left is the jig with 22” spacing. Each jig produces a 9”
length of ties, easily curved as you place the strip on the
glued roadbed. Longer lengths can be created by placing one or
more jigs end-to-end using the slot/tab alignment feature. By
drilling thru the (4) pre-cast dimples, you can mount the jig to
your workbench with push pins.
Kit No. 64-TJ-1.1 ... Tie jig,
19” tie spacing, single; $11.95 Shown here is the No. 6 switch tie jig. A cut-to-length template is included in the instructions. Run a strip of ¼” masking tape down the center and pull up a full set of switch ties, spaced on 19-inch centers. To make a right-hand template, place another strip of narrow tape on the opposite side and remove the first strip. The alignment slots/tabs match the straight-track jigs to provide a longer length of pre-spaced ties. Item No. 64-TJ-3.1 … No. 5 switch, 19” tie spacing, single;
$18.95
