INTRODUCING
THE ALL NEW!!
CVT
8' -6" H-O SCALE Mainline Tie Strips

#2003
8' -6" Mainline Ties:
TRUE
MUSEUM GRADE TRACK
The
new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale Central Valley Tie section (CVT) is the first
major new track product in decades. The new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT
is designed with first-hand experience in H-O scale track installation
techniques accumulated for over 50 years, as well as countless suggestions
offered by fellow craftsmen and model builders. Ideas and features from
the first fiber tie strip to the latest, but not so new, molded ready-to-run
flexible track systems have been examined. The best of all this is now
available in the new 2003 8'-6" CVT, plus volumes of new ideas which
make the new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT track system far superior to all
other track systems offered today.
Because the H-O scale CVT track system falls into the category of "Hand
Laid", this H-O scale CVT track system may look like a step backwards,
but that's where the step backward stops. From that point forward the
new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT ties are "hands-down" far superior to any
track system ever. The 2003 8'-6" CVT is injection molded in Styrene,
with working tie plate design (self gauging), working rail anchors (when
pushed over), working scale spikes (when pushed over), and scale wood
grain detail. The H-O scale CVT track product is extremely flexible
and easy to install on your roadbed, and no toxic glues of any kind
are required.
The new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT is self-gauging with code 83, and code
70 rail sizes.
Let
me give you several reasons why you should choose an implement this
new and revolutionary 2003 8’-6” H-O scale CVT track product
on your next, or first H-O scale model building project.
- All
the CVT tie products produce smooth, accurate radii limited only by
the wheel base of equipment you choose to operate on all your new
CVT.
- The
new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT tie sections are designed with 8'-6"
tie lengths randomly placed along a prototypical 19-tie per-33' average.
Some ties are slightly out-of-square, misplaced, and mismatched to
achieve the most effortless realistic mainline H-O scale trackage
ever manufactured.
- Joining
two pieces of H-O scale CVT together for a continuing smooth radius
is superior to all other methods. In-turn, this allows craftsmen to
construct reliable rugged staggered rail joints.
- The
2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT tie sections can be pre-assembled with rail
at the work bench to allow craftsmen to install track sections in
hidden and hard-to-reach areas with ease.
-
Because of the H-O scale CVT products unique "hollow" design on the
under-side, the H-O scale CVT tie sections can be glued in place with
simple non toxic environmentally safe white glue, which allows the
glue to grab hold in areas which are protected from harmful elements.
- With
the new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT, there is no need to glue the rail
down because when pushed over with a Stanley 2/32 nail set, tough
integral rail anchors and spikes hold your rail into the realistic
tie plates.
- The
new 2003 8'-6" H-O scale CVT allow craftsmen to paint, ballast, and
detail the track at any point during installation.
These
features allow the craftsmen to have free rein from the first design,
to making final adjustments during construction. |

CENTRAL
VALLEY #2003 8’-6” H-O scale CVT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q:
Do I soldier the rail joiners and feeder wires to the track before
or after installing the track to the ties?
A: I recommend you solder the feeder wires after the rails are in
place and secured to the 2003 CVT tie material. Personally, I do not
solder the rail joiners
Q: How long a section of rail do you normally install at a time?
A: More often I install 50ft - 100ft. sections of track per session.
Q: Do you normally put any weight on the track to hold it down while
the glue is drying?
A: Now without the need for glue I do not need to put weight down
anyplace.
Q: Considering the rail is secured to the tie strips, what about expansion
and contraction concerns?
A: Rail installed on the 2003 CVT ties should be gapped, for expansion
/ contraction like normal. The new “tip over” anchors
and spikes on the new 2003 CVT tie sections allow free motion of the
rail under the anchors and spikes. This allows for trouble free expansion
and contraction during normal seasonal temperature changes.
Q: How well does your 2003 track and work with “tar-like”
roadbed (AMI), or soft foam roadbed?
A: With the new 2003 CVT, a craftsman can pre-install the rail to
the 2003 CVT tie material at the workbench, and then set the completed
CVT down on such roadbeds similar to most ready-to-run applications.
