Building a layover crossing for our 7 1/4" minimal gauge garden railway

  • How we built a temporary track to bridge other tracks in order to reach a stock shed on Karen's Little Railway. This is a useful alternative to having to build railway points (or railroad switches, if you prefer) and crossings in order to connect to adjacent tracks or sidings. A tapered ramp leads onto a portable track panel that can be laid to join onto a nearby track at a slightly higher level (in this case crossing other tracks) in order to join a 'main line' onto a siding. In the past this was a solution sometimes used on light industrial narrow gauge railways.

    Always wanted to build one of these large garden railways, but never had the time, money or skills to do so,. Well done to you sir and your commitment,

    Super kolejka🙂.
    Planuje Pan pokazać coś więcej? Na przykład jak dokładnie wyglada mocowanie szyn i jak są zrobione rozjazdy?

      Yes, I will be adding more. Some track and turnout building details are on our web site at www.karenslittlerailway.co.uk/construction.php

    Rosie Jane Bongers has a similar thing called a climber, which enables portable tracks to connect to permanent tracks.

    Why didn't you put in a permanent point/switch from the nearest rail

      We have plans to rearrange things in that area to iron out a sharp curve and add some extra sidings, so this was just a quick solution in order to be able to use the stock shed straight away. The longer term plan is still evolving.
