The Cardiff Model Engineering Society has been altering its garden railway. A video can be viewed at:

A fascinating video. I like the way each of the problems was imaginatively tackled. Those dual gauge swivelling turnouts remind me of Greg's creations.

Agree with Rik. Some fine engineering there to accommodate all interests and gauges.

Hi Rik,
The swivelling points if that is what you would call them were laid in 2012 and have given very little trouble given they are out in the elements. Once the geometry is understood they are quite simple and quick to make though they do use a lot of track.
Take care.
Tony.

Re: Changes to a garden railway.
Why have I only just seen this video.....
It's brilliant Tony. I just so want that line. The way it's been thought out and put together is just brilliant...
That's gone on to my bucket list.....
