Reply To: RTR track sleeper spacing

Thanks for responding Paul,

I am working on a fictitious preservation line, using a track plan based on Aberearon in West Wales, so most of the trackwork would probably have been recovered from redundant track lifted elsewhere. The original line was built as a light railway, but  the GWR ungraded the track.

I am also thinking that the track wouldn’t sit on a lot of ballast, so maybe lay the track directly on the baseboard rather than a cork underlay.
