small radius points etc in 32mm?
small radius points etc in 32mm?
My garden line is 45mm gauge, but I have a few items of smaller 32mm gauge stock left over from older projects.
Thinking of adding a small mine train loop on the smaller gauge, but this will need some appropriatley small and tight curves and points.
Anyone got any suggestions?
For info, this is the sort of thing I am looking for:

Peco make a 38" radius point and Mamod points are 2'6". I also seem to remember seeing commercally avaliable 2'6" points with wooden spleepers but I can't remember where.

This is what Peco 605 curves look like in a mining theme..

Not many days go by without some coming up on Ebay. All-plastic is Hit- or Play-train (track is the same for both scales), electric with conducting rails is E-train.Nomis:106049 wrote:I am looking for really tight - like 18-24" radius.
I remember faller track being good for this sort of thing, but i think its pretty rare now....
Take a look at Atropos. If I recall correctly they have scale mine/quarry point work.
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

Sharp curves mean short wheel-bases. The E-train locos are 060, but with very close small wheels inherited with the more-or-less identical but 7mm-scale & battery HIT-train chassis. Maybe you need one to work the yard?jay1976:106436 wrote:I got a few faller e train points they are sharp perfect for what i plan in sidings but anything bigger than a 040 might derail....
