Curiously, Pemco offered an HO-scale section track system that appears
to be non-standard and thus incompatible with the likes of Atlas, Bachmann, Life-Like, Tyco, and other manufacturers.
As seen in the images above, the Pemco track at first glance appears to be typical section track, but look at the casting
of the plastic end pieces. Not only did Pemco track connect via the metal rail joiners, the plastic tie sections lock
together as well. The only other track that I've seen similar to this Pemco track is the 1970s Atlas O-scale track.
There is no mention of the material used for the rails, but going by the catalog images one would guess this is steel track
and not brass or nickel-silver.
Here is what is said in the Pemco catalog regarding this track...
Revolutionary new track system consists of interlocking track sections.
Eliminates electrical discontinuity and frustrating derailments due to track sections vibrating apart. For added safety,
metal joiners have a protective molded shield which also acts as a guide for easy connection. Available in all popular
sizes.
