Hi all,

Never being happy about how C-track looks over the Marklin Bridges I came up with my own C-Track -K-Track solution.

Hi Martin,

Excellent idea.
Do your use ordinary (code 83) rail joiners?

Hi Kimball,

I have some older K-track and I pull the rail Joiners of them and use those.

This looks great Martin, thanks for sharing.
I was wondering how I would do it if I combined C and K-track for a layout.

I have also found recently that the glue gun also holds much more securely with track than I expected.

In single point perspective, where do track lines meet?

Hello Mark,

I am building a layout with a combination of C-Track/K-Track. I Just cut the C- Track under the rails and use Rail-joiners to join the two different Tracks

together ( of course you have to cut of the Tabs on the C-Track ) also as you can see in the above Picture you have to wire the centre Rails together.

Hi, I did the same thing with my bridges, but I don't know if you are aware, you can buy C to K track converters, item number 24922 rather than cutting up your track, though being innovative is part of the fun of this addictive hobby,

Cheers Paul
