S Helper Service rail actually measures .139. It was made to real a PRR rail profile drawing I got for Don many years ago. I had some .125 turnouts and sold them because I did not want THREE different rail sizes.
If given my choice between loose .125 rail and SHS .139 rail and/or flex track I absolutely would go with the .139 since that is what I started with. I am currently looking at killing a good amount of brand new flex track just for the rail to make custom turnouts for 2 long #8 curved crossovers. To be blunt for the true scale side of things not many would use .125 to hand lay track. It would be more viable as flex track for those that are trying to run scale & Flyer etc. Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1988 See my finished models at: <http://www.lanestrains.com/> http://www.lanestrains.com Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
