Hello all,
Please forgive my ignorance, but I am certain that someone here will be able to assist.ops:
I am searching for some information on the model equivalent the special 'inverted' rail that is used throughout the world when tram / streetcar / traction vehicles are laid in paved streets that must be shared with other traffic.
I realise that one can use existing commercial brands of railway tracks, and then sink them into the road surface with the necessary flangeways left open, but I have never seen this as more than a mere compromise at best.
Turnouts are another stumbling block for me too, for using ones of a train style are nothing like the prototype one you see in the city streets, which usually use a single pivoting point in the frog.
I only have one Bachmann tram vehicle in On30 scale, but I would still like to think about building a short, point to point run for it, but using the correct profile rail.
