 Somebody tell me what size track I am using for I need more. The rails are 3/4" wide and I did grind away some of the cross ties to make them fit the area available...I'm using some track my son used about 40 years ago and I'm wondering if its still available. I can find lots of track for sale but it only says O or N gage or something else and not the size in inches.

   Only the top one has been clear coated so far.

Jesse, don't know about O gauge but, HO is 1.5" wide and N gauge is 1" wide.

Well, Lew. I was quoting Google. My Google skills must be lacking.

Thanks guys for the info.. My track after I ground each side of the rails down so the track would fit in the area I had to work with... So after I tried to come up with a guage  of size, nothing matches your pictures Lew??

  I could only find just three lengths of this size track in sons older train sets and I cut them up like in the pictures. So I guess when I go to  city that has a hobby shop I will take one of the pieces I ground the track down and made narrower.

 Gene I knew son had all this train stuff all set up in his bedroom but never knew what size anything was.20230812_170057.jpg.b94743077a83b7f9ef52d284fbf5b0bf.jpg

Hobby gauges are measured BETWEEN the track rails 

Maybe Google WAS correct.;)
