Roadmaster Series — HO Scale Handlaid Track & Turnouts
Handlaid track has evolved.
Roadmaster Series is a complete HO scale handlaid track system for building realistic turnouts, flexible turnouts, straight track, diamonds and crossings.
The Roadmaster system uses a laser-cut wood tie base and precision-etched tie plates to establish the track geometry. The tie base and tie plates work together as the construction template and remain part of the finished track.
Roadmaster turnout kits feature cast frogs based on prototype railroad drawings, precision tie plates, hinged points, functioning tie rods, rail braces, heel blocks and joint bars. Turnout rail comes filed and cut to length, including the point rails, so much of the traditional rail preparation has already been done.
Roadmaster is available for Code 70 and Code 83 rail, with handlaid turnout sizes from #4 through #12. Our flexible turnout system allows you to build curved turnouts to fit your layout centerline, printed track plan or scaled prototype image instead of being limited to fixed turnout geometry.
Whether you're building a mainline, yard, industrial switching district or recreating a specific prototype, Roadmaster gives you the ability to build the track your railroad actually needs.
