looks like the dual gauge track had a stub end switch? rare!
Neat pics, Tooter. Any idea where they were taken? I think I recognize the one running through the woods as the Big Trees and Santa Cruz tourist line. That dual guage trackage looks mighty beefy. The engine house tracks embedded in the pavement is a really nice job for narrow gauge. The trestle looks like it was built for standard gauge but the changeover never took place.

Hi UP, 
They come from all over the world...
If you do a google search for "narrow gauge track images" you'll get an image result at the top of the list. Click on that, and pages and pages of images come up. I did the same for "Chinese narrow gauge images". In fact you can do any search and add images to the search words and you'll get pictures of the subject search.

Some of those pics look foreign. English/Welsh perhaps? I like the one with the street trackage. Narrow gauge street trackage is all but unheard of here in the States. I can't think of any NG road that had any, not even the EBT.

My wife and I went to Switzerland for two weeks this summer; not our usual kind of vacation! It wasn't a rail-themed trip, but there was a lot to see for anyone who cared to look. Standard gauge and narrow too.
Zurich streetcars are meter gauge, so I assume their trackwork is on topic. Here's a 3-way crossing:
This is out at the end of Route 6, the Zoo. There are stub-end tracks where multiple cars can be held if there's ever a need to move large crowds, and just in case of cars rolling by accident, there are derails. It looks as if they've been needed in the past!

tooter...Do you think you would enjoy garden Railroading? alot of narrow gauge is found in out door model railroads.
I have some Old LGB trains that I use to set up out in my moms garden. It was always fun every spring to set up a new layout in the yard and play in the snow with them.

Yes.
I have some long range 7 1/2' gauge track plans for the yard, and want to build a smaller version of this to pedal around on...
