GarGraves O

Page updated:October 08, 2013

GarGraves Trackage, Curtis HiRail, and Ross Custom Switches all produce what is referred to as 'GarGraves type track' in that the use GarGraves profile rails, with a blackened center rail, and GarGraves profile wooden or plastic ties. The use of non-conductive material for the ties, in contrast to the metal ties used by Lionel-type tinplate track, effectively renders each track section insulated since the outside rails are not electrically connected by the ties.

The GarGraves track library contains O-gauge track produced by GarGraves Trackage. GarGraves has recently released their standard sectional curved track in a format using wooden ties rather than plastic ties. The wooden tie curve have somewhat different radii from their plastic tie counterparts; take care you do not execute a layout plan using one style of curved track and then attempt to construct it using the other style of curved track. We now include both sets of curves in the GarGraves O library.

This track library contains a wizard for track laying automation.

Items in red are newly added. The current v5 library release is 4.60.060. If yours is older, please go to our updates page to download the latest version.
