Matching standard and narrow gauge tracks?

[TheHunsletWD060ST]

Hey guys,

Recently, I have been trying to find matching standard gauge and narrow gauge tracks that match up in terms of colouring and design. The two standard gauge tracks I mostly use is the MB Finescale Track and the UK Bullhead 09 track, but I would like to find some 42"/3'6" track that matches either of those tracks. I have used Pencil42's NG tracks before, but in terms of textures, the textures on his tracks don't quite match up with the UK Bullhead track. Is there any standard gauge and 42" gauge tracks out there that match each-other?

Depending on how he tracks were originally made you may be able to take the sleeper and ballast textures from the std gauge track and put them into a clone of the narrow gauge track. That will fix the colouring. If you also want to match sleeper spacing etc, that is also dependant on how the tracks were made and is going to be harder (if not impossible!) to accomplish easily....

John,

Look for the WS-series track by hupfgeign. He has created both a narrow gauge 760mm and standard gauge version of his very fine track.

Hope this helps.

I think SAM also does a 760mm gauge track which matches some of his many SG tracks (and ballast texture paint).
