Thanks to all for your responses.One thing that I forgot to mention is that an 11.25 degree spacing would be easier to actually layout on your layout.  12.5 degrees is not evenly divisable into a 360 circle but an 11.25 degree spacing is.  The result would essentially be half way between the 10 degree and 12.5 degree measurements shown on the drawing.  It is amazing what a difference one silly little degree will make.It is easy to make an 11.25 degree template for spacing tracks.  Remember how to make paper airplanes?  Just take a large piece of paper (with a 90 degree angle) and carefully fold it 3 times.Folding 1 time = 45 degrees, 2 times = 22.5 degrees, 3 times = 11.25 degrees. Unfold it and the creases show the spacing.Or one of a dozen other methods for bisecting angles.....Thanks again, -John
