Walthers HO track gives modelers the pieces needed to shape a railroad around the way it will actually operate. Walthers track products include nickel-silver flex track, turnouts, crossings, crossovers, bridge track, and related components for mainlines, yards, industrial spurs, station approaches, and sidings.
Flex track works well for flowing curves and longer runs, while Walthers turnouts and crossings make it possible to build switching areas and more complex track arrangements. Available pieces vary by rail code and inventory, so matching the track to the layout plan is an important first step.
Walthers HO Scale track is available in multiple rail heights. Code 100 has the tallest profile and can work well for heavy-duty mainlines, hidden or staging track, and some older equipment with deeper wheel flanges. Code 83 has a lower profile, while Code 70 provides lighter-looking rail that can suit secondary lines, branches, yards, and sidings.
The code number refers to rail height in thousandths of an inch: Code 100 is .100 inch high, Code 83 is .083 inch, and Code 70 is .070 inch. When adding Walthers train track to an existing railroad, check both the rail code and track geometry already in use, especially when transitioning between different rail heights.
A track plan often requires more than straight sections and curves. Walthers flex track can follow custom alignments, while turnouts route trains into passing tracks, yards, and industries. Crossings and crossovers provide additional options where routes intersect or trains need to move between parallel tracks.
Walthers has also offered HO bridge track with running rails and guard rails for applicable bridge installations. Turnout numbers, crossing angles, lengths, track centers, and other dimensions vary by item, making the individual product specifications important when fitting a piece into a planned or existing railroad.
Current Walthers HO turnouts include DCC-friendly designs in Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100. Depending on the specific turnout, features can include solid rail points for electrical conductivity, isolated frogs with built-in jumpers, current jumpers, insulated tie bars, and snap-action points.
Older and discontinued Walthers turnouts may have different electrical designs from current products. When buying a turnout for a DCC railroad or replacing an older piece of Walthers track, verify the item number and specifications rather than assuming every generation is wired the same way.
Finding the right track component can become more difficult when a layout was built with an older product. Trainz inventory can include used, pre-owned, and discontinued Walthers track acquired through model train collections, creating opportunities to find older turnouts, crossings, flex track, and other pieces when available.
For anyone matching existing Walthers HO track, details such as the product number, rail code, turnout size, crossing angle, and dimensions can help identify the correct replacement. Changing secondary-market inventory can also be worth checking when a particular Walthers track piece is no longer readily available new.
Trainz offers one of the largest selections of new and used model trains online, with inventory that changes as additional products and collections arrive. That gives Walthers track shoppers a place to look for both current layout components and harder-to-find pre-owned or discontinued pieces when they become available.
Dismantling or selling a model railroad can leave boxes of track, turnouts, structures, trains, and other equipment to sort through. Trainz buys qualifying model train collections, although not every group of items will meet the purchasing requirements. If Walthers track is part of a larger collection you are considering selling, visit Sell My Trains: How It Works to review the process and see whether your collection may be a fit.
