Gary:  Somebody finally did it!  I had assumed (you know what they say about that) that there wasn't enough of a market for it to be worthwhile.

Two issues with the NSK rail.

First, it's about code 64.

Second, if you have to buy the plastic rail with the bunks like they are listed on the NSK site, it's more expensive per foot than ME c44 rail at discount.

I noticed code 64, but given that many modelers still use code 80 rail, that would probably be acceptable to them.

Buying it with the bunks would probably be more expensive than ME rail, but one would still need bunks for the rail train.  And I doubt that the ME rail would work as a trainload, unless one has prototypical curves and heavy cars.
