Manufacturers of Authentic Reproductions of Historical Railway Components in 3½", 5", 7¼" & 10¼" Gauge Specialising in Vacuum Brakes & Trackwork
Bring your railway dreams to life with our modern and robust track system that effortlessly recreates full-size railway charm. PNP Railways offers a modern and robust track system, featuring easy-to-assemble parts that closely resemble their full-size counterparts.
Planning your railway layout has never been easier with our track kits. Say goodbye to the hassle of figuring out which components you need. We've taken care of it for you! Each kit contains the right amount of parts to construct a 10m length of track. Simply choose the number of kits required and your preferred rail fitting
By investing in a PNP Garden Track kit, you'll save valuable time and money in the long run. Imagine the hours spared from cutting wooden sleepers and drilling holes! Our sleepers come in the correct size and feature pre-drilled pilot holes, ready for immediate use. With their wood grain effect, they exude authenticity. The ribbed hollow underside allows easy ballast penetration, creating a stable foundation for seamless running.
Durability is a hallmark of our sleepers and chairs. Designed to withstand rot, frost, and UV exposure, they guarantee longevity and hassle-free maintenance. You can rest assured that your railway will withstand the test of time, even in challenging environments.
Track Kit Options
We offer you two types of rail fixings: screw-down and clip-fit. You can choose whichever option is most suitable to you.
"Screw Fit Chair" – a PNP Railways original design manufactured from a strong engineering plastic. This chair will provide secure attachment for your rail to the sleeper with just two screws
"Clip Fit Chair" – a PNP Railways original design manufactured from a strong engineering plastic. This chair requires no screws, it slides onto the rail and pushes into the sleepers securing the rail.
Automatic Gauge Widening
One of the standout advantages of our system is automatic gauge widening on curves. Our chairs facilitate gauge widening by simply turning one chair 180 degrees for a 1/32nd widening, or both chairs 180 degrees for a 1/16th widening.
Gauge widening is essential in constructing a miniature railway, particularly to prevent flange climb, which occurs when the wheel's flange climbs up and over the rail, leading to derailment risks. The increased lateral restraint on the wheels achieved by widening the gauge ensures the stability and safety of the miniature railway, allowing for smoother operation and minimizing the risk of derailments.
Preparation is kept to a minimum, with the only requirement being drilling the rail ends for the fish plates or curving the rail. We don’t offer a rail bending service as it best to bend the rail in situ.
For creating smooth curves, you'll need a reliable rail bender, which is available to purchase here.
Rest assured, all PNP Railways track products are suitable for garden, club, and commercial environments. Simply assemble and lay your track and enjoy years of trouble-free running.
Our commitment to quality is evident in every detail. All plastic sleepers and rail fixings in the PNP Railways range are manufactured from high-grade engineering polymers. These materials are exceptionally durable, resistant to rot, frost, and UV radiation. UV stabilizers are included in the base polymers to prevent UV radiation degradation and extend the life of our products.

The sleepers are slightly over scale, but still in keeping for standard scale engines, the sleepers are also ideal for narrow gauge. Can be used for ground level tracks (if your balance is ok) or ideal for raised level tracks.
Sleeper Dimensions:(L) 190mm x (W) 22mm x (H)15mm
Recommended Sleeper Spacing: 70mm centres
The rail is supplied in 2.5m lengths
