BachmannIndustries Adjustable Parallel Track Tool (2 Pack), Small
J**Z
Great tool BUT.....
I'm working on a layout using Atlas N code 55 track (best track commercially available by the way) and I needed to parallel a mainline with sidings. Prototypically, it seemed like 1.25" track centers looked best despite hearing that 1.5" centers were realistic which I highly disagree with, so I needed something to space them. When using any number Atlas turnouts for sidings or crossovers, 1.25" is automatically the default track center standard so that is really convenient too. Anyway, look no further, this set comes with 2 individual spacers should you lose 1 or need to parallel 3 tracks all at once! Unfortunately however, out of the package its impossible to use this on code 55 rail. In a picture, you can see that the rivets where the rails slide through are only slightly too narrow not allowing the rails to sit properly. Maybe this tool was designed with a British N scale design in mind? No biggie, it's a rather easy fix, take a file and file outwards and test to see how well the rails now sit. Also I provided more pictures since it is almost impossible to find amateur pictures or reviews on this exact device. Thanks Proses!!!!!
