Do you mean 'parliament hinges'?

Parliament hinges would be fine, IF the 'screw' end were bent out at 90
degrees.

This is a flap, 8 inches wide, 24 long, allowing walk in access to a toy
train layout. An ordinary flat hinge would be fine BUT the flap will
have track over it, butt jointed at each end of the flap. At the hinge
end, the pivot needs to be half an inch above 'base' level otherwise the
flap will not rise without the ends of track mashing each other.

I think the simple solution will be ordinary strap hinges mounted on
blocks of wood, sufficient to provide clearance.
