O Gauge Tram Track

Hello Everybody!

 

I decided to havea go at making tram track - no use in building a tram without anything to run it on :D The TLRS says to use code 100 rail and Terry Russel's Build a tramcar in O book says to make the groove by laying a second piece of rail in the web of the rail... which is what I did:

I had some offcuts of PCB left from my N Gauge layout so I used them as sleepers - when I've done the second rail I'm going to investigate plaster/filler and build a street surface for it.

I only did one rail like that because the groove looked a bit big to me - but I've been working in N gauge for 20 years so it might be fine - but I've got some spare bits of Peco finescale I could try to see if that makes a difference, but looking up close I think I need a rail with a smaller head to go sideways... or make the groove with plaster?

 

Can anyone see if there's anything I've done wrong?

 

Cheers

 

Simon
