The following prototype trackwork link was posted on the MERG forum in a discussion about dual gauge.  Quite a challenge!

Wow - a challenge indeed!  It would be fairly straightforward to build if it wasn't for the moveable K-crossing.

I wonder why they did it that way though, rather than share a common rail.

Perhaps there is a turntable behind the photographer.

And a challenge to get rolling stock to run round the corners and through the dips. I wonder where it is?

[P4 + 00 dual gauge?]

It's the Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme.  Standard and metre gauges.

To give due credit, the link and photo were posted by Noel Leaver, who also posted this link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemin_de_Fer_de_la_Baie_de_Somme
