I'm not sure when Gilbert announced their Pike Master track, but I saw
the announcement in the S Gauge Herald. They talked about realistic
closely spaced ties and even flex track. I bit and bought it mess of
it. It too was a joke, of different nature!

Just heard that Lionel has announced a full line of S "scale" track
products including #6 and #8 turnouts strictly built to NMRA/NASG
specifications with code 100 rail, detailed simulated wood ties,
integral switch motor using a worm and worm gear for very slow point
movement and a lantern housing with red/green LEDs. The flex track
will come in six foot lengths and will exactly match the turnouts in
appearance. Turnouts will cost about $18 each and the flex track
about $4 per length. The photos look GREAT!! Lionel sure comes
through when ya need 'em. Ed L. 4-1-2012
