Track is an integral part of your model railroad layout. In technical terms, track is the means by which electrical current flows to your locomotives. In more simple terms, track is what your locomotive and rolling stock ride on. Deciding what kind of track you use on your layout will mean the difference between a layout that will give you years of enjoyment and a layout that only gives you headaches.
What should you look for when choosing your track? Simple... Outstanding quality, long-lasting durability, a wide variety of track and accessories, and most of all, affordability.
Where can you find these qualities? Aristo-Craft Track! Let's take a look at what sets Aristo-Craft Track apart from the rest of the crowd. . .
CONDUCTIVITY . . . Aristo-Craft's brass rail has a very high percentage of copper insuring that conductivity of Aristo-Craft Track is superlative. Our brass rail also features a very low percentage of lead, greatly inhibiting oxidation. Oxidation is the main cause of "browning" in brass rail which lowers conductivity, requires constant cleaning, and detracts form the appearance of the rail. Our stainless steel rail does not have conductivity issues due to oxidation. Electrical conductivity between the stainless steel rail and the wheels and power pickups of your locomotives and cars is vastly superior to other forms of metal.
DURABILITY . . . Instead of being hollow, the rail in Aristo-Craft Track is solid for strength and performance. Aristo-Craft Track can endure the heaviest of locomotives plus trampling by your neighbors' kids with the greatest of ease and still perform like new!
The plastic ties in Aristo-Craft Track are made from a high grade P.P. plastic for durability and quality. An ultra-violet protectant stabilizer is supplied by a major U.S. chemical company who also analyzed our tie material to guarantee that the percentage of U.V. additive was correct.
We believe so strongly in the durability of our product that we will back it up with an unbeatable guarantee! Aristo-Craft Trains is extending the warranty on all the track ties in our track products to a LIFETIME GUARANTEE. (the rail and screws are covered by our five-year warranty.)
