The Trackless Rail System consists of individual JAK Rollers. We manufacture this system in HO, S, O, G, and Standard Gauge scales. JAK Rollers are manufactured from robust materials and will last a lifetime. The rollers are placed directly on the energized railroad track, and the engine is placed on top. The rollers are fully insulated, and can be used on both 2 and 3 rail. Sealed ball bearings will never wear out under normal use, and no maintenance is required. Typically you will need either 2 or 4 rollers, 2 rollers are used for a single expansion engine, and 4 rollers are used for a double expansion engine (articulate) or a 2 truck diesel. Aside from just a great testing tool, our Generation II JAK Rollers are equipped with built in wheel cleaning pads. The wheel cleaning pads are a natural material that will not damage your model railroad equipment. The cleaning pads will polish the wheels on your trains without the need for any cleaning solution. Note: The wheel cleaning pads are not to be used with traction tires. To facilitate this, the cleaning pads are easily removed from the roller.

Here is a diesel riding on the JAK Rollers. This diesel requires two rollers per truck. A total of four rollers are used to support this engine. This engines power is continuously transferred from the energized third rail via. our pickup.

Amazingly, each block will support over 50 pounds! Supporting the Bearing Blocks is our Dynamic Running Base, which is designed to be used in conjunction with the JAK Rollers.
