 My mate Pete once showed me pictures he took in the old SAR days of a small
T? steam engine hauling a train of narrow gauge bogie vehicles fully on to
another train, he said, for transfer to another isolated NG line.
The larger gauge train [5'3"?] had a NG track fixed to the flats and the
train was shown still in steam heading down the track hauled by another
Steam engine ! This is probably not the answer to your question, but shows
you dont need track "connected" to quickly move vehicles around the place.
