I put this picture in the layout forum a day or two ago. This is the eastside Hudson River line about midway between NYC and Albany. I took this picture because I'm making a simple dogbone layout of river shoreline and wanted to match it. Taking a ruler to the picture I found inside rail center to inside rail center about 1.5 times rail center to rail center of one track. That works out to somewhere between 11.5 and 12 feet track spacing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/mhackett/railroad/DCP_2595.jpg Didn't post this to dispute anything, just want to show one possibly not-too-representative example where they are pretty close together, apparently. This is closer than recommended model spacing, and in fact I cut away the inside bevel of WS roadbed so it wouldn't need to extend too far outside the tracks (N-scale). Mike
