Fleischmann Track

Fleischmann don't make 00 track, they make H0 track. As such its just as suitable for UK '00' models as any other H0 set track. Just beware of the smallest radius curves. Keith Make friends in the hobby. Visit Garratt photos for the big steam lovers.

There are two types in their catalogue; brass code 100 rail on plastic sleeper base (standard), and nickel-silver code 100 on a sleeper and ballast base (Profi). Both are suitable, but brass rail oxidises quicker than nickel-silver.

Do you mean "suitable" in terms of running 00 (say Hornby) rolling stock on it? in that case, then yes, they are both 16.55 gauge.

However, if you mean "suitable" in scale terms, well strictly no, as OO =

4mm/1foot (1/76th) and HO = 3.5mm/1foot (1/87th), so the sleeps will techinically be underscale.

Airfix, bless 'em, confused matters in the past by labelling their models OO/HO, which are two different scales. The gauge (16.5mm) is actually underscale for OO, it's more accurate for HO.

Hope this helps.

Indeed, but both Peco and Hornby effectively only produce and utilise HO-scale track.

Thanks for the replies, I'm just moving from N to OO and wondering what track to buy, the Fleischmann N Gauge track has been good so ....

Cheers, Mickey

I've had no problem with Fleischman profi with Hornby, bachman airfix or lima products so far, not to mention various HO bits and pices :) Beowulf
