[BAZ_modules] Z Module Club Expanding Track Offer
|
We have reviewed the Rokuhan R031 Expanding track. Very similar to the Kato N-scale version, it works well.

? For those that build their modules with Rokuhan or Micro-Trains sectional roadbed track, this is a winner, maintaining track and ballast look across the module sections.?However, for those that are using roadbed-less track (classic M?rklin or MTL's Flex), the cork or underlayed roadbed that extends from the track setback to the edge of the modules (2-1/8"), you cannot use these and must stay with the M?rklin 8592 or cut-track pieces. Same as if you place your track directly on the surface (without roadbed). The middle rails are cut in half, length-wise to allow side-by-sdie parallel expansion/compression. The electrical contact is maintained by sliding through a middle-mounted rail joiner (clever) and also?retains?mechanical strength.??A 're-railer' in the middle helps wheels stay in place, for sure.? I tested many wheel types and there is *no* chance of the wheels slipping into the thinner rail head, if the section is expanded. ? A 'Toot-Toot' from?us (Engine moving forward !)

Date: Tuesday, November 27, 2012, 7:46 PM Z Scale Module Clubs We'd Like Your Opinion On The New Rokuhan Expanding Track? The adjustable Z scale track section from Marklin (Marklin 8592) has long been an essential price of track for Z scale module clubs. These track sections have always commanded a premium price due to their engineering and Rokuhan has now released their own version of an expandable track section (Rokuhan R031). To help Z scale modular clubs, Ztrack is offering module clubs in the United States two (2) free sections of Rokuhan adjustable track sections for use and review. We would like to hear back from clubs regarding these Rokuhan sections, primarily if they are a good replacement for the Marklin adjustable track. If these new Rokuhan track sections are determined to be a good alternative to the Marklin adjustable track, Ztrack will further assist clubs with special pricing for these new Rokuhan track sections. Clubs may apply for Bill Kronenberger Grants to cover the cost of these track sections. To receive your two (2) free Rokuhan R031 track samples for club evaluation, send an email to: rob@.... Please include your club name and address. We look forward to hearing your feedback on these new track sections.? Rob www.zscaletrack.com Ztrack Magazine Ltd.
