Allow for the possibility that maybe the Tomalco tooling is in production-ready shape, and it's something the new ME owners can use to generate income in the short term. Not like it's a huge market, but at least they'd have something to offer.

I am almost certain Tomalco track was actually produced by ME FOR Tolmaco Track.  They changed hands recently and now ME has bought the rights to it.  So they already had the equipment anyway.

@rodsup9000 - As has already been posted, you forgot the link.

I'm interested to see if the new N-scale tooling is improved over the tooling it's replacing since ME's track detailing was getting pretty close to Atlas55 flex's large, blobby details.

It would be great if the new ME flex's N-scale Code55/Code40 spikehead/tieplate detailing is closer to the old Rail Craft flex's, which was the very best N-scale track ever made...even when the tooling was worn out and there was lots of flash to remove.

Frankly, although it will be great if, and when ME gets new N-scale turnouts in production, for me...since I've been building my own turnouts for over three decades...it isn't high on my priority list, but, usable Code40 flex (with much lower spikeheads) IS.

Cheerio!
