Track

Hi,i have been looking for some scale 3.5 inch track about 3.25 meters long without success,i have bought some from PNR,but it is no where to scale and looks awful,another company wanted £117 for 1.5 mtrs.
Wondered if anyone has any ideas please

What kind of track?--Railroad track, army tank track,--we're not sure what you are talking about.---Brian

Well i would have thought that the 3.5 inch would be enough for the steam enthusiasts to know what i was talking about,it is railway track of course.i want to make a base with track for my 3.5 gauge maisie,track i have is ugly.
Sorry for the confusion

Don--I wasn't being a smart-arse. I am not a railroad guy. Earlier this year I was designing a mobile rescue chair for quadrapalegics that has rubber tracks on it, about 2 1/2" wide.---Brian

I have had a quote from them Charles,£117,i thought that was a bit high,they quoted for 1.5meters,i haven't ruled it out yet,the "home machinist " came up with a few ideas .
