Interesting idea, but wouldn't that require them to have all the ABS
particle-thingys? Though with only 1 color, it might still be workable.
Atlas has already made two other scales of track and has been around for
over 50 years (I think), so they'd be a good pick.

I would disagree with RR track not needing high tolerances. Ever taken a
look at an NMRA standards gauge? They have specs for flangeway depth and
spacing, wheel gauge, etc... Actually, at least an axle gauge would be
nice, if wheels can slip on their axles (can they?).
