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:-
-
Is it possible to have a larger radii's?
We have now added 3 more fixed larger radii's, maximum being
10'-0"
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
