There is also a garden gauge track inside the elevated track. Very few records exist. Tyneside Society of Model & Experimental Engineers, Canvey Railway and Model Engineering Club, North London Society of Model Engineers (NLSME), Spenborough Model & Experimental Engineers Ltd, Two lines, one 3.5 and 5 inch gauge track, one mixed 5 and 7.25 inch gauge, Copsewood Sports Ground, Binley, Coventry. The smaller gauges of miniature railway track can also be portable and is generally 3 1⁄2 in (89 mm)/5 in (127 mm) gauge on raised track or as 7 1⁄4 in (184 mm)/10 1⁄4 in (260 mm) on ground level.
