Whilst at Warfare I entered the charity raffle. I was lucky enough to win and even more fortunate in the fact it was something I could use - Some 10mm Railway track.
There are 10 straights 100mm long in the pack. I have no idea who manufactures them and would be interested I some curves or points as well as some more straights. Anyone have any ideas who makes these?
They were just in zip lock bag. Nothing to identify the manufacturer.
I have checked the trader lit and must have missed it if it was on their website
Cheers

As an opening point, 10mm track should roughly equate to 'N' Gauge, but a manufacture only need slightly vary that and the difference could be quite notable - but it may be worth you taking a section of your new track to a rail model shop and comparing it with an 'N' gauge piece. If it is true 'N' gauge, you have a lot of buying options.
UK N-gauge is 1:148 but US N-gauge is 1:160 or so I'm told by a friend who's into both 10mm scale wargames and N-gauge model railways.
I'm sure I've come across 10mm scale resin track recently but wasn't interested so didn't bookmark it. If I can remember who it was I'll post a link.
The problem with N Gauge railway track is that it doesn't usually come with track bed & ballast (although there's at least one manufacturer that does).
For N Gauge track, Yes in the U.S. it is 1:160. Some things you can consider for railroad track. It is manufactured in code 83, code 70, code 55 and code 40. These are the rail heights with code 83 being the tallest. Also there is narrow gauge (Nn3) track which has the tracks set closer together, typically the rail ties are spaced a little bit wider on narrow gauge which may be more in line with the ACW era.. It would depend on what look you want from the track on your battlefield. The smaller code would probably look more realistic.
