I have seen 4-rail track for London Underground trains for use in tunnels and stations, but I can't find any for surface running. Does anyone know if there is any surface 4-rail track anywhere?
Thanks,
Mick Berg.

Mick - Try Bloodnok's website: http://www.vsr.org.uk/

Plenty of 3 and 4 rail track.

H'mmm, Bloodnok's seems to be all fixed track - I rather dread the thought of laying twelve miles of track in 16-meter sections! I found one spline track, but I'm not thrilled with it.
Thanks,

Mick - The track isn't fixed, it's splines made up from different length sections. The various section lengths make for smoother curves, according to their radii. For example, a straight length of line leading to a curve would be made of 16m leading to 8m, 4m or 2m, depending on the radius of the curve. This is both cosmetic and the longer section splines use less computer resources. Try downloading them and having a practice.

Bloodnok's is the best you can get your hands on for this.

Thanks Dave (and Andy), I just assumed, not a good thing. I'll download them right away.
