does this track exist?

im looking for a track of a similar idea to the road track t-intersection. did they produce these for the train track? i did look at using a 4way, but dont think itll work right.
i have an idea which needs 2 separate loops to feed back into a main central line.

like the blue pieces in this picture, but for the train tracks, not road.

Have you got the y track sections? You can use them with ordinary turnouts to make a configuration like this...

You can get both male and female 'Y' sections
thanks for that. yes, i do have those, was just hoping to use less space, although an extra few cm wont matter given the size of the layout already. i couldnt even finish setting it up as the clear floor in my room wasnt wide enough, lol. making plans for the next model railway show, which is just over a year away.

Yeah, it's a shame they don't do a smaller section of track which does the same job, (they do in brio!) if you cut a crossroads in half you'll not get the right movement,
yes thats the problem too big of a radius haha even though it is a much smaller radius than say the smallest HO radius.
I was bored one day and tried to use all of the turnouts lol

That is a great picture...a young boy and his trains...Priceless! That is a fantastic tower in the back. I really like how you have the hanging Monorail on the underside of the suspension bridges and a train running on top of that. I have seen some of your YouTube videos before and your young engineer, Evan, having fun.




Great job of engineering the layout with all the turnouts but I am more curious as to the details behind this very complicated layout....

^^ hahaha we it was due for an overhaul Wink
Here is a quick vid of that setup. before the figure red figure 8
It started out something small... then ideas... and it grew and grew.

Thanks ActionChugger

I love the 3rd picture, just a perfect one of a boy and his trains. And I got a good chuckle in the last video of Evan in "The Tomy Corral asking Daddy for help. Smile Thanks for sharing, I love looking at the engineering marvels of those building big layouts like this. Do you have an idea to start with or do you design on the fly?
It varies...

Sometimes i see something online and I want to try if I replicate the layout. And then I add on to it.
Other times, I just go where the blue tracks leads me hahaha
