Track Building Kit

BUILD YOUR OWN TRACK
When it comes to track, most of our customers buy complete sets from us however some just buy points or points and curves and build the rest themselves.
We have a range of tools and parts available which make it easier to get your track building right and at the same time make it easily compatible with MTS track when you buy complete points and sections from us to start out or finish things off.
Equipment You Will Need
The minimum workshop tools you need to build track are:

• A welder. Stick is OK but you’ll kick yourself if you don’t buy a proper MIG (with gas).
• Metal cutting band saw: To cut rails and sleepers to length. Buy a good one – and spare blades!
• Bench grinder and two angle grinders
• Bench drill and battery drill
• If making curves you’ll also need a Bar Roller
• Range of G-Clamps
• Gauge bars to hold the rails in gauge during welding (included in our kit)
• Jigs to hold the rails and sleepers in place while welding
