Is there such a thing?
I guess not.

Hi from Belgium,
Take a look at Fastrack site, I beleive they have some jigs to make dual gauge turnouts.
Good luck.
Marc
Your observation is absolutely correct and considering the small number of Nn3 modelers it is unlikely you will ever see any. All is not lost however because it should be a simple matter of laying down regular N-Scale gauged track–9mm–and affixing another rail gauged to Z-Scale track–6.5mm–on the inside of the regular N-Scale track. All you have to do is be creative in creating a jig to facilitate laying and gluing this third rail in place . . . . . . . . . . and as F-86 pilots said when they left the ready room for a mission to Mig Alley “Be a tiger!”
I thought there was a difference between Nn3 (.225") and Z scale (.257") gauge? Is the .032" (1/32") going to make a problem when running? Is there even narrow gauge N stuff out there? I’ve heard about a kit from Marklin but it’s hard to find in the first place and at that it hasn’t been made for some time.
Thanks for the responses guys;
Hello back to Belgium. I want to visit there.
Yes, I’m framilliar with FastTracks and plan on using their stuff for turnouts.
I kinda figured the whole “use regular N scale track and add a rail” thing, but I was just wondering if Nn3 flex existed… I fgirued it didn’t.
Long story short, put away your calculator and don’t worry about it.
The (NMRA) standard for Nn3 is to use Z scale track. So YES it’s not exactly 3’ gauge at 1/160 scale just like using N guage track for HOn3 is not exact and using HO track for On30 is not exact, but all three scale is much easier.
The history of 3 foot narrow gauge in N scale is way back in the day people hand-laid .225" track and hand-made mechanisms. Then Marklin introduced Z scale in
