A universal track cross section for G, O, S, HO, and N ???

Speculatively: I've thought for some time about making my own track with appropriate length(s) of wood of the right width, cut with grooves using a table top or hand saw, inlaid with metal stock (aluminum?) of the right width, length(s) and height... and then wired up to go.   All of which I admit wouldn't look realistic, but that's not what I care about for my particular weird application.

... So maybe such could be brought to bear on your effort to make your quintuple inlaid track...

I'd probably stick with DC for all of it too.

I hope this is visible, skip down one or two to see the pics.  http://forums.mylargescale.com...m-g-scale-track.html

Now as a test, i'd not bother with cutting all the little rail pieces and the brackets.  I'd like I said run grooves in the wood and bang the metal bar in with a soft mallet.  I might glue it with construction adhesive or more likely i'd take large staples (similar to those used to hold electrical wiring place) and possibly then with hacksaw cut some grooves for the top of the staples so it's flat -- to hold down the bars... that is if it seemed it needed it.

Anyway, that's my idea on the topic... next!

Gargraves offers 3 & 4 rail combo track for 2 gauges : STD & O,  O & S , G & O and G & S, you can also inquire about having different combos fabricated for you.

IF Gargraves still uses wooden ties, you could handlay (spike) the rail for the gauges not included in whayt you get RTR.

Thanks for the input. Will check Gargraves. The routing idea has merit if I can figure out the curves and best overlay that would put all gauges in the narrowest track bed.

Thanks

I would hope that the Gargraves is flex track to enable one to create curves. I cannot tell from their listing. (bottom of page) They answer their own phone and are nice guys to listen to your needs.

It would be an interesting combo to see all the rails together.
