Curve (Q Radius) 5" Gauge Portable Jubilee Track Panel
Curve (Q Radius) 5” gauge Portable Jubilee Track Panel (formerly known as 5.6m/18’6” radius). As these curves are very tight in nature we do not recommend them for long wheelbase locomotives or stock. The tighter the radius curve the more susceptible it is to cause derailments. They are however ideal for a back garden setup or even for use inside with family and friends.
