It reminds me of certain track useage in another part of the world to Germany I have 2 rail stuff, mostly North American (era IIIa Pennsylvania, Norfolk and Western). Using Trix C track (mostly same geometry available as Märklin C track) I have often dreamt how I would do certain arrangements. Such as double mainline tracks into three and the reverse after a few miles to allow passing trains (very common) using slim turnouts. Because I do not have a 2 rail layout or room for one, I have never gotten around to trying what may be possible. Kimball

Brilliant! At appropriate switching speeds those look very navigable to me. I will have to give those a try one of these days.
		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! I have models from Era I to Era VI, but I try to focus on Eras I & III. Whoops, that one got away from me. Let's just say I focus on cool trains, regardless of the particulars :-) So many trains and so little time.

The short straight pieces are 24064. 24640 crossing: The straight track in below configuration requires the intervention by a saw. I used the customised track piece presented in post no. 288 extended by a 24071. The curve is a 24224 which could be replaced by a 2461x turnout.
