Old Rail Blue compatibility with new rail, my solution.

This is my solution :

Because of the lag this is not followed properly, it is necessary to get the file premiet pin!

Could you not have used jumper plates to give you the half stud offset? i have done something similar, but I just left the half stud gap, as it seems small enough for the trains to cross without bother.

I do not try. With This system, no shock when the train crossed the rail.

I wouldn't be comfortable cutting vintage tracks. You can also cut flex track to make the connection since no one seems to like flex track. I think the bits to cut off is above the yellow line.

Good idéa!

Hi guys,

We have even a more simple solution!

SEE LINK BELOW

Just snap the pins into the holes and away you go.... they are .25 cents a piece and you get 4 for $1.00. I will have Eric add more to the inventory if you need a bunch. NO cutting needed. The rails align. Blue as well as 4.5 volt gray track. I hope this helps

Happy New Year

Its the same track as rc track but without the metal on top.

The ME solution looks really great!

That is what I did on my layout, nice job.

I'm gonna try this with my old rails. Thanks for the tip.
