All, Some months ago I recall seeing a chart on one of the yahoo groups which equated model rail size, ie., code 83, code 100, to actual prototype rail size,...
Could someone please help me with what would be standard sleeper spacing on the VR narrow Guage lines. I am aware that each sleeper is nominally 5'6" x8"x4",...

Pete, Hunting through my books, etc, I too only found the sleeper dimensions, and not the spacing. However the September 1998 issue of Narrow Gauge,...
Pete / John & Group I found the following in "Railway to Walhalla" Chapter 2 (p.153) by Stephen Watson Rail Lengths - 22'6" Sleepers - 5'6" x 9" x 6" 10...
Damien, Thanks for that - chapter 2 is one of my missing volumes... 2'5" centres isn't that far from my 27" - I reckon Pete would be fine to use a figure...
I will be in Brisbane betweeen 8th and 13th December. I was wondering if there is anything ng to do around this time. Especially I was wondering if the ANGRM...
Damien & John, Thanks for your efforts with finding information on sleeper spacing for me. I checked my test track which I thought looked wrong for the two...
All, Following on from the discussion about sleeper spacing on the VR NG lines, I now have a philosophical question to ask. The sleeper dimensions and spacing...
Michael, If you get a spare moment and get down to the Gold Coast, drop in and I'll take you over to the Gold Coast Club's On30 layout. It's 1939 anywhere you...
John, The timber sleepers used on 2ft. gauge were 5' long and set apart at 2' centres, concrete sleepers are a lot shorter, at a guess I would say 4' long. ...
Brain, Thanks for that information, although I suspect you are talking current-day 2' gauge. Although I am unable to measure the sleepers used on the Stannary...
John D, Working on your version of 'our' little favourite railway I see For appearance you need to keep the proportions of the sleepers relative to the rails...
Hi John, My feeling is that you may be after a visual effect rather than a "dead scale" interpretation. If the overall width of your locos has only grown by...
Mike, Working? Making very slow progress towards thinking about the possibility of contemplating starting drawing plans - which may one day see the light of...

John, The sleeper lengths I was refering to were based on what we used back in the early 70's [5' long timber x 2' spacing] The concept then was to pack...
Hi John, Problem is, if you make the sleepers proportional to the track gauge, how are they going to look under correct size rolling stock? More important, and...
