Exciting new track manufacturer

So it looks like there is a new track manufacturer out there! USA Track LLC has launched an authentic line of standard gauge tubular track. Here is the info from USA Track's website:

"USA Track LLC is a new company that bought all of the existing tooling and parts to make Standard Gauge track from EBR Products last year. We recently finished replenishing inventories of rails, ties, insulators and track pins and can supply you with 42, 57, 72, 84 and 87 inch diameter curve track, as well as 14 and 36 inch long straight tracks. All track products are traditional tubular tinplate track made entirely in the USA with components all made in the USA. The other brand of traditional tubular Standard Gauge track currently available is made entirely in China, and is inferior in every way. In addition, our USA made product is 10% cheaper than the Chinese imitation."

If you aren't familiar with Kirk Lindvig, he exemplifies the "can do" attitude. He's also honest as the day is long. It's one of the reasons that this is exciting; honesty,creativity and track.

Check out the website, it is highly likely we'll see some very cool custom stuff out of them. Can't wait to see what's next.

SGMA Website


Hey Folks,

Go check out the Standard Gauge Module Association's website. Mrs. Lindvig posted some wonderful pics today from the Oaks, PA meet. I'm jealous! I just couldn't get out to PA today, I am still holding on to (and grasping) every second of holiday vacation (that is until I have to go to work tomorrow morning).

Check out the site here.

PS I'd recommend going out to this site - if you would like to see some very rare trains stretching their legs (Boucher Blue Comet or a Standard Gauge Challenger) go check out the movies.
