Feeders for Overhead Tracks

[Mania]

For the Tomix single rail type overhead tracks, which feeders do I use? The regular kind or the slab rail type? I've been trying to search for pictures that show the underside of the tracks, but to no avail...

I don't believe there is feeder provision for the single track viaduct track pieces. I think Tomix views the single track viaduct as a bridge extension rather than a stand alone line.

 

There is however, the Tomix 3064 Viaduct S-70A a very fiddly piece of  viaduct casting that requires a S70 straight and has a removable side piece that allows a 5534 DC feeder to be attached.

I've used it before and it is hard to put together.  The three pieces want to go there own way when I try to attach the outer wall.

 

You can attach a Tomix 5534 DC feeder to the Tomix 1061 DS140 straight track.  There is a pop out section that allows the feeder to fit in.

For slab track you can use the 5538 wide track /slab track feeder. I've never tried slab track.
