Track
- How it works and how to model it
First published by the Association in 2012, this 2nd edition incorporates substantial revisions to reflect progress in 2FS modelling in the intervening period. This card bound publication runs to 164 pages in A4 format and features full colour illustrations throughout.
The prototype section is scale non-specific, covering all aspects of trackwork and associated equipment.
The modelling section covers the track systems available from the Association along with guides to their effective use in 2FS. Practical guidance is also given on building realistic and reliable trackwork regardless of scale.
A valuable resource whatever scale you model in.

Taster Kit
What is it really like to model in 2FS?
Here’s your chance to find out.
The kit comprises a typical etched nickel silver wagon chassis including bearings, wheels, axleboxes/springs and buffers. The body is one of our popular plastic wagon kits. The kit also includes rail and Easitrac sleepers to make up a small length of track to present your finished model on. Includes full instructions, but glues, solder and paint will need to be sourced separately.
Video instructions of how to build this kit are now available.
Be careful, 2FS is addictive!
