S Helper Service Track

S Helper Service manufactures, and we stock, both Sectional and Flexible track. The goal of the S-Trax system is to allow maximum flexibility to mix and match components, allowing you to create and grow your railroad the way you want it to be.

All rail is code 131, which matches PRR mainline 155 lb. rail. This size was chosen because it cooresponds to a size of rail used on real railroads, yet still allows operation of AF and AF-compatible wheels.

Sectional track has built-in ballast, and comes in multiple lengths and radii. Matching switches, bumpers, uncouplers and other accessories are available.

Flex Track has matching ties and rail. Roadbed is available to match the height of the sectional track if required.

Check out the S-Trax Track Planning book below. It is full of layout plans and tips for contruction of S gauge pikes using the S-Trax System. There are 11 layout diagrams from 4'x6' to 6'x16' with detailed listings of the track required. A step-by-step construction guide detailing exactly how SHS built their show layout is also included. There are also sections on cutting S-Trax to special lengths and joining S-Trax to Flyer track. A complete listing of the SHS S-Trax range is included. S-Trax Track is fully compatible with Classic AC Gilbert American Flyer trains.

S-Trax System Flex Track

Based upon the same Pennsylvania specifications as the sectional track, S-Trax offers 40" lengths of highly flexible track. Flex track lets you design layouts with any radii curves. Once laid and ballasted, you have great looking scale trackage, yet still compatible with American Flyer wheels.
