These Atlas Code 80 rail joiners aren't just for N Scale track. These rail joiners can be used with Micro Engineering and Walthers Shinohara HO scale Code 70 track. These rail joiners are about half the length of HO scale rail joiners and less noticeable, perfect for even hand laying track and turnouts. I've used these for a few of the Central Valley Code 70 HO turnout kits and they're perfect for "hinging" the movable "point rails" to the closure rails. I wouldn't say they're entertaining, just that they serve the same purpose as the more expensive rail joiners available from Micro Engineering.

These are necessary to hold track together and complete the electrical continuity. Joined hold track in line and help prevent derailment. These are made well from good quality metal. They will last a while. They will also improve conductivity and allow trains to run without stopping or jerking. I recommend them.

Great Price and works great! Didn't have any connectivity issues at all. Normally I have to throw in a bunch of jumper wires but didn't have a single problem this time with connectivity. However, they were a little tight and a bit difficult to attach to the track.However, I guess you get that when it is brand new. I also guess that is why they make a tool for attaching these instead of just using your fingers.

It's easy to ruin them when you aren't reasonably careful installing them, after all, they're very thin metal. When you install them properly, they stay there with no problem, keeping the rails tightly aligned. A very good product. As far as being entertaining, what can you say about rail joiners?

What can you say. A rail joiner, is a rail joiner, is a rail joiner. These are good ones.
