Achieve precision trackwork for your On30 narrow gauge layout with professional track templates from Banta Modelworks. This collection features radius templates from 14 inches through 40 inches, ensuring accurate curve placement and alignment. Explore our On30 Rolling Stock and On30 Train Accessories to complete your narrow gauge railroad.
Building an accurate On30 narrow gauge railroad requires precision tools that ensure proper track geometry and smooth operation. This specialized collection of track templates from Banta Modelworks provides the essential tools for planning, laying, and aligning trackwork with professional accuracy. Whether you are constructing a compact switching layout or an expansive narrow gauge empire, these templates deliver the precision needed for reliable operation.
Our collection features fourteen different radius options, spanning from tight 14-inch curves perfect for industrial spurs and mining operations to sweeping 40-inch radius curves ideal for mainline running. Each template is precisely manufactured to ensure consistent curve geometry throughout your layout. The 14", 16", 18", 20", 22", 24", 26", 28", 30", 32", 34", 36", 38", and 40" radius templates allow you to match prototype track curvature or design custom trackwork that fits your available space while maintaining operational reliability.
Banta Modelworks track templates are engineered specifically for On30 narrow gauge modeling, accommodating the unique requirements of HO scale equipment operating on narrow gauge trackwork. These templates simplify the process of marking centerlines, establishing proper curve radii, and ensuring consistent track spacing. They are indispensable for both hand-laid trackwork and commercial track installation, helping modelers achieve prototype accuracy in their narrow gauge scenes.
Tight radius templates (14"-22") excel in modeling industrial settings, logging operations, mining railroads, and compact switching layouts where space is limited. Medium radius curves (24"-32") work well for general purpose trackwork, yard leads, and branch line operations. Larger radius templates (34"-40") enable smooth mainline running and accommodate longer equipment while maintaining the distinctive character of narrow gauge railroading. Combining multiple radius options creates natural-looking easements and transitions that enhance both appearance and operational performance.
Track templates work in conjunction with other layout planning tools to create cohesive, well-designed railroads. Use these templates alongside track gauges, rail joiners, and alignment tools to ensure every section of track meets exacting standards. The precision offered by these templates reduces troubleshooting time and eliminates common trackwork problems such as kinks, misalignment, and binding that can plague hastily constructed layouts.
Complement your trackwork with rolling stock and accessories from our comprehensive On30 collections.

For additional Banta Modelworks products, explore our HO Scale Banta Modelworks Scenery collection featuring structures and detail parts that enhance narrow gauge layouts.
On30 modeling combines the accessibility of HO scale equipment with the charm and character of narrow gauge railroading. These track templates ensure your foundation is built to professional standards, supporting reliable operation and realistic appearance. Whether modeling Colorado mountain railroads, Maine two-footers, or freelanced narrow gauge operations, precision trackwork is the cornerstone of a successful layout.
