Walthers 948-83001 is a 5-pack of Code 83 nickel silver flex track with wood ties — each section measures 36" (91.4cm) long, giving you 15 feet of mainline-quality track in one package. The flexible rail bends easily into smooth curves and straights, letting you build custom layouts without splicing dozens of fixed sections together. Code 83 rail height is the modern HO standard for realistic running, matching prototype rail proportions far better than older Code 100 systems.

FAQ
Will Code 83 track work with locomotives that have older deep-flange wheels?Most modern HO equipment runs fine on Code 83 with standard RP-25 contour wheels. Older brass and tinplate locomotives with deep "pizza-cutter" flanges may bump on tie plate detail — those run better on Code 100.
Can I connect this to other Code 83 brands like Atlas or Micro Engineering?Yes. Standard HO Code 83 rail joiners fit Walthers, Atlas, and most other Code 83 brands. You may need transition joiners if connecting Code 83 to Code 100.
Does this come pre-assembled?Yes — each section is fully assembled with rail, ties, and spike detail. Just unpack, lay it on your roadbed, and connect with rail joiners.
How much layout can 15 feet of flex track build?It depends on radius and design, but a typical 4'×8' HO oval with one passing siding uses roughly 25–30 feet. This 5-pack is a great starter for a small layout or an expansion for an existing one.
