End of The Line, Mister!

After laying 120 feet of Atlas O-Scale 2-Rail Flex Track at a cost of $562 (discount price), this is what I get: 10 feet short of closure!

My supplier can't send me the 3 pieces I need, because another customer bought up all the stock, so I'll have to wait until he gets another shipment from Atlas.

Surely a disappointment , but If it's only 10 feet can't you order from some other merchant? I'm sure someone somewhere will have few pieces of flex for you in stock ready to ship.

 

[Brakeman Hal]

Yes, I should try that, but I probably won't get a discount, but hey...at least I'll complete my layout!

Thanks, tankist!

With the shut down of factories in China, you may be waiting years for your supplier.

At age 82, waiting YEARS doesn't sound that good...

That was dumb of me -- I thought I was looking at G scale track.
I don;t know how I did that? Sorry!

Well that is a bummer. I have exactly 1 piece of Atlas track somewhere. If you were only 3 feet short I would look it up and send it to you.

Thanks for the offer, Iron Horseman, but I need exactly 91 inches to close the loop on my DogBone, which requires three "sticks" of 40" Flex Track.

No problem, Sirfoldalot, I've used all three 2-rail systems: G-Scale, O-Scale, and HO Scale.
