12m - 7¼ & 5" Gauge Track for 10mm x 20mm Black Mild Steel Bar

With our bar rail system, you have plenty of options to create a customized railway that suits your needs. We have put together 4 different track configurations in 5" & 3½" , 5", 7¼" , 7¼" & 5" gauge, that are suitable for 10mm x 20mm black mild steel bar.

Our 12m Kits include the exact number of sleepers, chairs and screws needed to build a 12-meter section of track with bar rai This takes the guesswork out of calculating what you need, and ensures that you have everything required to start building your railway. All you need to do is order the bar rail from your local steel stockist. See below for details.

Please note that the black mild steel bar is not included as part of the kit or are fishplates. However, the materials can be easily sourced from your local steel stockist, such as https://www.metals4u.co.uk/materials/mild-steel/mild-steel-round-bar. It is available in 3 & 6m lengths.

One of the standout advantages of our system is automatic gauge widening on curves. Our chairs facilitate gauge widening by simply turning one chair 180 degrees for a 1/32nd widening, or both chairs 180 degrees for a 1/16th widening.

Gauge widening is essential in constructing a miniature railway, particularly to prevent flange climb, which occurs when the wheel's flange climbs up and over the rail, leading to derailment risks. The increased lateral restraint on the wheels achieved by widening the gauge ensures the stability and safety of the miniature railway, allowing for smoother operation and minimizing the risk of derailments
