Track Guides
This Product is still under development. This is a preview of what is coming. Email us for more information.
When laying Flex Track it can be difficult to get a perfect straight, curve, or transition from straight to curve. The answer is Track Guides.
What is a track guide? Simply put, it is a piece of wood that fits perfectly between the rails on Flex Track and "guides" the Flex Track into the exact shape.
Prawn Designs is developing a full line of Track Guides in a variety of curve diameter and various length of straights.
We are also some developing special Track Guides. Spiral easement Track Guides to make the perfect transition into and out of a curve. Spiral Easements for sidings; just the right track shape to ease your track back to parallel at exactly the right distance from the existing track.
Last but not least, Prawn Designs can make you a custom Track Guide for you project. We will work from your center line CAD track plan to make you the Track Guides you need.
Prawn Designs cuts their Track Guides from 1/8" Baltic Birch Plywood.
