If you luck out, you might be able to find a retail dealer with one
on the shelf. Or, you could ask if anyone on this List has one for
sale or trade. Maybe an Undec you could paint yourself? Try train
shows and/or the NASG convention in Massachusetts in a couple of
weeks. Send a buddy on your behalf if you cannot attend. Or ask
someone on this List to search for you.

Only Don Thompson can give you an authoritative answer to that
question. He will be in touch. Don never misses on these kinds of
questions.

Why not order one section of flex track in both rail sizes and look
at 'em for a while and then decide which you like best. Then build
what you think looks best. Remember, with a bit of weathering the
rail size will appear smaller. It really does not shrink, but the
silver color is much more prominent than rusty brown which blends in
with the dirty ballast and brown ties. Perception is reality --
sometimes. 8>)

No problem. Enjoy S!
