We are currently in the process of finalizing the design and talking to manufacturers but we would appreciate any comments or enquiries from the garden railway world.
Email us at Track Up IGRS. Email us also if you wish to be updated of our progress or have a genuine interest to purchasing such a system.

UPDATE 21st July
Since its first showing at the East Herts Miniature Railway Society Show in Ware, Hertford on the 9th and 10th of July we have had a good response. These responses included:-

  1. Is it possible to have a larger radii's?
    We have now added 3 more fixed larger radii's, maximum being 10'-0"
  2. Can buildings or features be added on the line side, cantilevered off the side frame?
    A cantilevered bracket has been designed and a model is in manufacture.
  3. Can I have more track widths which will allow track to cross over a side border?
    Yes we have now developed this idea and will have this feature in the future.
  4. Can the structure be painted?
    Yes, a paint specification will added to the web site soon.

We will try to add any suggested features in to the design. This product has been designed from the ideas and features suggested to us by the garden railway world. If we have overlooked a feature let us know ASAP even if your not considering purchasing the system.

Thank you
