For product drawings head over to our Technical tab.

Create your own miniature railway with a ready to lay loop of 5 Gauge  3.88M / 12'9'' radius loop of track complete with two standard straight sections. This is the perfect starter set to build up from with points soon to be available in this radius.

Our ( V ) radius curve is a very tight radius curve and is designed for use in back gardens and confined areas where space is at a premium. These panels allow you to build a railway in almost any confined space with ease. We would not recommend these curves for regular commercial/public railways as there is an increased risk of derailments with this tight radius - use in these environments is purely at the operator's discretion. They are however ideal for a back garden setup or even for use inside with family and friends. 
 
5 inch gauge points will also soon be manufactured in this radius, so if you are looking for an entire railway ready to run, this is the ideal radius to opt for. For more information on points please contact us directly.

Total Weight: 124.2kg (approx)

Rail material: Hollow box steel (25x25x2mm)

Sleepers: Solid recycled plastic

As these curves are very tight in nature we do not recommend them for long wheelbase locomotives or stock. We have successfully used an Abbots Neptune 3 which has a fixed wheelbase of 0-6-0 without any derailments or significant immediate wear on this radius but would warn that regular very heavy use may cause excessive wear to the wheelsets and rail due to the tight nature of the curve.

Track sections may come with joiners removed to keep down postage costs. To attach these you will simply need a 10mm spanner and 4mm allen key are needed to assemble the joiner to the rail. This is only required to be done on first installation; the joiner may remain with the rail throughout use.

A standard track section weighs 6.9kg and requires careful handling to avoid injury. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)  should be used when laying or moving portable Jubilee Track, for more advice please refer to  the ‘Operating Instructions for laying Jubilee Track’ the full version can be found on MRW website. 

As standard all MRW Jubilee track panels are widenedby 1.6mm [ 1/16" ] this allows for curves to be joined to straights. This widening is within the 5" gauge standards and should not adversely affect running.
