Hi all,

I'm just about to start laying track on my layout, and was hoping if someone could give me the size of the gap I need to create in the sleepers to make my OO gauge track look a bit more phototypical?

TIA

Way too far north of 75A
About 7mm gap is about right. If you're using Peco track you can get Bullhead track with proper UK spacing on the sleepers. You can also get concrete sleepered flexi track (SL-103) which has a more UK appearance for flat bottom rail.

West Hill Wagon Works do a 3D printed jig for sleeper spacing which might be worth getting.
