[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TopekaRailfan So, what is the current thinking on track spacing for yard ladders? I looked up the NMRA standards for spacing. On a tangent, I believe it was 1-13/16". I remember reading that you want to space your yard tracks a bit wider for access. What is the typical spacing for model railroad yards? [/quote] Most folks here (including me) use 2" - 2 1/2" center-to-center spacing. Gives you enough room to get your hand in between the tracks to remove cars if necessary, hand-uncouple, or mount and move manual switches. Unless you have really fat fingers, I don't think you need much more than that.[:D]
