It is definitely doable, although it requires some amount of work. We did it on our company layout https://www.marklin-users.net/fo...ault.aspx?g=posts&t=8681.

We carefully cut off about 2 cm of the ballast at the end of the C-track and mounted a few ties from a scrapped DC rail there instead. We then mounted the K-track on it with some spare rail joiners. We glued the rail joiners with epoxy to make sure that the upper surfaces of the rails stay level. This is a precaution since C and K rails have different height.

We needed to have 2 cm of the C-track going out over our bridge. If you don't need that it might be sufficient to just remove a little bit of the C-track ballast at the end, and then you might not need to add new ties in that end.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of exactly that place on the layout, but it looks quite good and works very well without any derailments. The photo I have of the bridge is from the other end, where an transition section could be used.

Good idea,
alternatively, you could simply bulid your entire layout from K track.

Hi,

I bought a kit from Auhagen to build a bridge with. I assumed I wouldn't need K-Track because there would be no 'see-through' parts. However, even with as much of the balast bed removed as possible, C-Track would give an ugly result.

So I decided to use K-Track after all. Here is how I connected C-Track with K-track (a flex rail):
With a dremel-like tool I cut away one part of the C-Track, this as to remove the C-connectors. Now with K-Track rail joiners I was able to connect the rails. Unfortunately K-Track has slightly higher rails. So I had to lower the profile of the K-Track somewhat at the position of the rail joiners. Of course, I did this by removing just a bit at the bottom side of the K-Track rails, not the top! This made it possible to make quite a level connection. I fixed the connection with a drop of superglue applied to the joiners. Further, with a piece of wire soldered to both center rails I assured an electical connection.

Here are some pictures:

I posted some more info in my "me and my layout" thread, see https://www.marklin-users.net/fo...ault.aspx?g=posts&t=8263.

Cheers, René

Great solution René.
