Walthers 948-83007 is a 5-pack of Code 83 nickel silver Branchline flex track with wood ties — each section measures 36" (91.4cm) long, giving you 15 feet of authentic branchline-style track in one package. Branchline track features narrower, more closely-spaced ties than the standard Code 83 mainline track, capturing the look of secondary lines, sidings, and rural rail. The flexible rail bends easily into smooth curves and straights for custom layouts. Looking for more HO track and accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. Features Five 36" (91.4cm) sections of Code 83 Branchline flex track per package — 15 feet of track total Narrower, more closely-spaced ties for an authentic branchline, siding, or yard appearance Wood-tie appearance with realistic dark brown molding and enhanced wood grain detail Fine-profile spike and tie plate detail molded onto every tie Custom-formulated nickel silver rail for excellent electrical conductivity and easy soldering Spike-mounting holes for prototypical track nail placement Mixes seamlessly with standard Walthers Code 83 mainline track using the same rail joiners Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-83007 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Branchline Flex Track (5-Pack) Track System Code 83 Nickel Silver, Wood Ties (Branchline) Section Length 36" (91.4cm) each Condition New UPC 616374198825 FAQ What's the difference between Branchline and standard Code 83 flex track?The rail is the same Code 83 height. The difference is the ties — Branchline has narrower, more closely-spaced ties to look like secondary mainline, branch line, siding, or yard track. Standard Code 83 has wider mainline ties for primary lines. Can I mix Branchline and standard Code 83 in the same layout?Yes — both use Code 83 rail and the same standard rail joiners. Many modelers run Branchline through yards, sidings, and industrial spurs while using standard Code 83 on the mainline for visual realism. 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 small yard with a few sidings typically uses 8–15 feet, so this 5-pack is enough for a complete branch line yard or several sidings on a larger layout.

Atlas Cork Roadbed — 36 x 3/16 x 1-7/8" section. Bevelled cork roadbed gives your mainline the raised ballast profile of the real thing and quietens running at the same time. Cork stays slightly resilient, which is exactly what you want under flex track: it deadens drumming and takes spikes or adhesive equally well. Split the strip down the middle and you get two bevelled halves for a proper ballast shoulder.

This is the matching curve for Kato's Narrow Gauge Unitrack #4 turnouts. Each piece is a 481mm (19") radius, 15 degree section on 9mm gauge roadbed with tie spacing scaled for HOe, HOn30 and OO-9 models, and the pack gives you four of them. Use one after a 52-300 or 52-301 turnout to bring the diverging track back parallel, or join several for broad sweeping curves on a narrow gauge layout. Specifications Brand Kato Item Number 52-250 (Kato NR481-15) Scale HOe / HOn30 (1:87) and OO-9 (1:76) narrow gauge Track Gauge 9mm Radius 481mm (19") Angle 15 degrees per piece Quantity 4 pieces Roadbed Gray ballasted Unitrack roadbed with narrow gauge tie spacing UPC 4949727703619 Condition New Features 15 degree sections match the diverging route of the Kato 52-300 and 52-301 #4 electric turnouts. First 15 degree curve in the Narrow Gauge Unitrack line, so you can build sidings and passing loops that line up. Tie spacing scaled for narrow gauge models rather than N scale. Snaps together with UniJoiners. No nails, glue or ballasting needed. Frequently Asked Questions How many pieces make a full circle?Each piece is 15 degrees, so 24 pieces (six packs) make a full 360 degree circle. Why do I need this with the #4 turnout?The turnout sends the diverging track off at 15 degrees. One of these curves turned the other way brings it back parallel to the main line for a siding or passing track. Will it join my N scale Unitrack?Yes, it uses the same 9mm gauge and UniJoiners. The ties are spaced for narrow gauge, so it looks a little different next to N scale track.

The set includes the bridge track, two end pieces, and end-piece "wood" filler ties, all fully assembled and ready to install on your layout. Looking for more HO track or accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. What's Included Item Qty 36" (914mm) Code 83 Bridge Track section 1 Bridge Track End Pieces 2 End-piece "wood" Filler Ties 2 Features Models 132-pound prototype rail used on modern main lines — more prototypically accurate than Code 100. Custom-formulated nickel silver rail for outstanding electrical conductivity and rust resistance. Thin profile ties in realistic dark brown with enhanced wood-grain detail. Fine molded spike and tie plate detail on each tie for a prototypical look. Spike-mounting holes positioned next to the rail for solid track-to-bridge attachment. Includes Code 83-to-Code 83 end pieces — also adapts to Code 100 with appropriate transition joiners (sold separately). Scale: HO (1:87.1) — Code 83. More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-83004 Scale HO (1:87.1) Track Code Code 83 (132 lb. prototype rail) Rail Material Nickel silver Length 36" (914mm) Product Type Bridge Track Set Condition New, factory assembled FAQ What's the difference between Code 83 and Code 100?The number is the rail height in thousandths of an inch. Code 83 (.083") models 132-pound prototype rail and looks more prototypical for modern main lines. Code 100 (.100") models 150-pound rail and is the older industry standard. Both are HO scale and work on the same layout with transition joiners. Is this track compatible with other HO Code 83 track?Yes. It joins to virtually any Code 83 flex track or sectional track from Atlas, Walthers, Peco Code 83, and other manufacturers using the included end pieces. What does "bridge track" mean — does it include a bridge?No, this is the track that runs ON a bridge or trestle, not the bridge itself. The thinner ties and bridge-style detail are designed to look correct on top of a bridge deck. It's intended for use with separately-sold bridge kits. Is this DCC-compatible?Yes. Nickel silver rail handles both DC and DCC operation with no modification needed.

Walthers 948-9010 is a 5-pack of HO scale double-track foam roadbed — pre-shaped sections, each 36" (91.4cm) long, designed to support two parallel tracks for a prototypical mainline double-track look. Made from dense, closed-cell foam that matches standard HO cork roadbed dimensions, this roadbed quiets train running noise, lifts the mainline above the surrounding scenery, and provides a smooth, ready-to-paint surface for ballast. Looking for more HO track and accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. Features Five 36" (91.4cm) sections of double-track foam roadbed — 15 feet of mainline base in one package Pre-shaped for two parallel tracks (proper double-track spacing built in) Dense, closed-cell foam matches common HO cork roadbed dimensions for easy mixing with cork sections 3/16" thick, 3-1/2" wide at the top, 3-7/8" wide at the base Smooth surface — no extra sanding before painting or ballasting Track can be nailed or glued; cuts cleanly with a hobby or utility knife Quiets train running noise compared to bare benchwork Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-9010 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Double-Track Foam Roadbed (5-Pack) Material Closed-cell foam Section Length 36" (91.4cm) each, 5 per package Dimensions per piece 3/16" thick × 3-1/2" top width × 3-7/8" base width Condition New UPC 616374219537 FAQ Will this work with cork roadbed I already have on my layout?Yes. Walthers foam roadbed is dimensionally compatible with standard HO cork roadbed, so you can transition between the two with just a small bevel where they meet. Do I need to glue the roadbed down before laying track?Most modelers glue the foam roadbed to the benchwork with foam-safe latex caulk or white glue, then lay track on top with track nails or more glue. The foam will accept either nails or adhesive directly. What track spacing does this support?The double-track profile is sized for HO scale double-track mainline spacing (typically 2" between track centerlines), matching prototype practice. You can use it with Walthers Code 83/100 flex track, Atlas, Bachmann, or any standard HO track. How much double-track mainline can 5 pieces cover?Five 36" sections give you 15 feet of double-track base — enough for a meaningful double-track loop on a 4'×8' or larger layout, or a long mainline run in a shelf-style around-the-room layout.
