So I went under the presumption that branch line after you said Martin, was 10ft. I did some random math and blew up the drawing by x1.08. It is the difference between 9mm UK N gauge and true scale gauge of 9.7mm d7b12ef08fa160a3a7ba18be164580cb.png By the off chance the branch lines up, so ka-ching? |

Loops and sidings alongside - 10ft way (182" track centres from running lines). The track gauge is irrelevant, you need to calculate based on the scale. N gauge in the UK is 1:148 scale, which is 2.06mm/ft. But Templot does all that for you. Just enter the prototype spacing in inches, 134 or 182, or whatever else you want. regards, Martin. |
