<p>[quote user="kstrong"]You didn't mention which scale you're doing, as that makes a wee bit of a difference. If you're doing 1:32 or 1:29, then 6" centers on your straights should be ample. You'll want to increase this distance on dual-tracked curves--the added distance depends on the radius of your curves. (Tighter curves mean more overhang, which need more distance). If you're doing narrow gauge (1:20 to 1:24) then 7" should be adequate on the straights, slightly more on curves. <br /><br />Prototypical distances between centers on tracks were between 13 and 14' for standard gauge, and around 12' for narrow gauge--at least in the US. <br /><br />Later,<br /><br />K[/quote]</p><p>1:29th</p>
