Hello all,
Is there such a thing as a dual gage track with 45 and 32 mm rails available?

Sunset Valley Railroad in the US make dual gauge flex track and #6 turnouts in code 250 rail. No set track though and no code 330 rail either.

Outside the US, I know Argyl in Aust stock it and also Ateliere Vaporiste in France.

Thank you! Code 330 rail is the same as the LGB 45 mm rail?

Yes, code 330 is the bridge girder size rail that LGB (and others) use.

Not wishing to be pedantic ......LGB rail and its compatibles are known as Code 332. Refers to rail height in thousands of an inch. Note, it does not refer to the profile. Some code 332 requires an adapter, Tenmille make, to mate to LGB and its compatibles, e.g. USAT/Aristocraft/Trainline/Piko/Accucraft/Bachmann .
In UK Garden Railway Specialists can make you dual gauge track up to order. There is a guy who goes under the name of "301" who appears at all the main shows here but has no website or apparent e-mail contact details. An enquiry to the 16 mm Narrow Gauge Modelers association might help on the last as he exhibits at their annual show. Max.
