Track in the UK

Thunderchicken:
Hi all,

Can anyone help with a source of track which will be suitable for 28mm in the UK?

I'm not hot on scales so should I be looking for 'O' Guage?

Thanks in advance.

I personally use 00/H0 track.

O gauge is more expensive and not as accessible as 00 track.
0 gauge is 32mm (space between rails)
00 gauge is 16,5mm

Call yourself lucky if you get S gauge which is 22mm.
Prototypical standard gauge is 1435mm (Russia, Spain and GWR used broad gauge, Japan, South Africa and Queensland use narrow gauge)
Decide for yourself...

joroas:
I bought a wild west train in O gauge that came with a lot of track that i painted up, pobably your cheapest bet.

Svennn:
I did a table for a comission once and used Hornby (ho/oo?) but cut the sleepers down the centre, re-spaced them apart and used grit/gravel to hide the gaps. Worked quite well and you can have it as wide or narrow as you like.

Thunderchicken:
Thanks chaps, looks like I'll be scratch building or looking for cheap toys. My local hobby shop is selling 2nd hand HO track off at 50p a pop so I might experiment with it.

Svennn, the track is to run beside the canal you built for me.
