It's been an interesting journey to discover this forum. Probably like most of us here, over the years I have enjoyed & continue to own model trains in many scales & gauges. Somewhere in the garage, there are Triang OO trains from the 1960s; a dismantled 3.5" gauge Hornby G100 "Rocket" awaits its upgraded boiler & currently resides in a steel tray on a shelf above my desk & there is a pair of heavily Mamodified SL1 locos with a few items of rolling stock, boxed up until next spring. The G Scale element is for the entertainment of youngsters, an R/C Service Railway Express that seems remarkably good value to me.
With three & possibly four gauges of garden railway to organise, I toyed briefly with combining them as one mixed gauge route, but that way, insanity beckons! OTOH, Cliff Barker offers suggestions for 45 mm & 32 mm dual gauge track; useful for 16mm GTGs. For the present, I shall content myself with making the bits & pieces I plan to use when track building continues in 2018. Santa has already been notified of my railway requirements. The choice is simple; comply or someone's Xmas goose will be well & truly cooked.
Best wishes,
Perry
