Bill Lane conversed with the crew at Micro Engineering. The company that they use for the code 100 rail has not shipped that rail yet, so that postpones both code 100 flextrack deliveries as well as code 100 plain rail bundles. S-scale code 83 flextrack is currently being manufactured, and they stated that they had received no orders for S-scale code 70 flextrack, so none will be produced.

The company offers S-scale 3D-printed resin track and trackside components. The company is based in London, Ontario, Canada, so expect some extra shipping/delivery fees.
