5 Inch gauge track

Expansion to the range of Jubilee track panels offered by MRW to now include 5 inch gauge track.


Portable Miniature Ride on Railway track
5 Inch gauge track

We are pleased to announce the release of our 5 inch gauge track panels, following on from the success of the 7 ¼ gauge (points, buffer stops, curves and straights) as well as the recent announcement that we will for the first time be making some multiple gauge trackwork we are now releasing stand alone 5 inch gauge panels.


Following on from our tried and tested 7 ¼ gauge design, we are using 25x25mm box steel rail to ensure our customers get the same firm and smooth ride that they have come to expect from the 7 ¼ gauge track range. The plastic wood sleepers that have proved popular on the 7 ¼ gauge range have also been retained, but shortened slightly to ensure that they look appropriate to the size of the 5 inch trains.



The test batch of these panels will be made over the coming weeks and we are confident that they will be just as popular as its 7 ¼ gauge counterpart. Points, curves and buffer stops are all in the works, so if you're looking for more than just an out and back railway line, drop us a message and we can discuss your requirements.


We will now be welcoming orders for the 5 inch gauge straights and for further information, please take a look at the product page and technical pages on our website.

Hi Jim,

The short answer is yes we can supply track to go across a section of grass. We currently have a production run of 5 inch straights and can make curves to order. We also make a joiner panel which will allow you to join to the aluminium rail (7 1/4 version listed at the moment but a 5inch soon to be uploaded.) https://www.miniaturerailwayworkshop.com/product-page/flat-bottom-rail-joining-panel-7-1-4-gauge-straight-jubilee-portable-track.

I will drop you an email with some info on pricing and turn around time.

Kind regards Dan M

Hi There, I am wanting to lay a 5 inch gauge railway track, To my disadvantage I have bought and bent my curves and trimmed my straights of aluminium second hand rail, also fitted the chairs and sleepers. I now find your product on line. My track will be around 70M long. Being half straights and half 30ft radius. My Carden is pretty flat and think your track can be laid directly on the grass with a membrane between the grass and the sleepers. Just as a quick estimate what price would 35m of your straight track and 35m of your 30ft curved track cost? Have you got instructions or a video of how you connect each panel of your…
