Roger from Mini Train Systems came up with a great solution for where the track enters the garage. A short lift-out section, complete with convenient handle, drops into place and can be quickly removed, without tools, to allow the garage door to close.
As a "safety" precaution, the lift-out section is stored on the seat of the driving wagon when not in use. Don't ask why this precaution is necessary!
Previously, a 1.3 m long half-curve section had to be installed and removed each time, which was quite heavy and took a while even using wingnuts on the fixing bolts.
