Standard and narrow gauge running together?

[Anonymous]

The prototype I hope to model carried passengers and freight from rural southern Ohio to the city of Cincinnati. For several miles the city trolly cars shared tracks with the CG&P. There were three rails one that both types of cars used, a rail for the trollys 30 inches away and a third rail beyond that to accomidate the standard gauge cars. At one time this may have been common but I found it surprising and would like to include it in my layout. My question is is there commercialy avalable track that would allow me to model this or would I have to scratch build the triple rail track?

This layout is still some time from going into construction so I have not decided on HO or N. Any suggestions on which scale has a better selection of trolly and narrow gauge units?

HO has a better selection of equipment in both trolley and narrow gauge.. N narrow gauge is actually N scale equipment on Z gauge mechanisms and track. I think Micro Engineering sells dual gauge track (HO/HOn3). There have also been dual gauge turnouts built.

Thanks Dave.

I googled Micro Enginering and found that everything I will need is avalable. It is more complicated than I had thought but I don't have to worry about building the track myself.
