HO Elite may well be the most comprehensive modern production track system available.
Features like brown ready aged rail, some flexible points, one piece point blades all add to the technical improvements that this range brings to the every day accomplished modeller.
The simple design brief was "can we make a track system that looks just like the real thing to take track into the 21st century". All the old handicaps of unrealistic bright rails and wonky sleepers were to be banished to toy trains where the modellers were less discerning whilst they learnt about railways.
REALISM was to be achieved and that is what is offered with this code 83 system from one of the worlds largest track makers. Thanks to it’s broad diversity, it’s the system of choice both for major projects and more modest layouts.
You can employ the same variety of point configurations to be found in real life. There is hardly any other track system with which this is possible as consistently and as faithfully as with Elite. The design is for all rolling stock generally available be it HO or 00 using NEM or RP25 wheel sets.
Lastly and proudly the rail width at the running surface is a mean 0.80mm, fine scale, just compare this with your existing rail width, this most importantly achieves the visual appearance normally associated with hand made track, but it’s available out of the box ready to lay.
DCC users and prospective users should go to www.wiringfordcc.com then turnouts and then Elite/Pilz for very helpful advise and kind words about the track design and it’s suitability. Comparison with other makes of track may surprise you. Enjoy.
