Can anybody please tell me the typical British distance between platform edges with double tracks between or, the distance between platform edge and closest rail.
Thank you.

*** Diagram - and the legend
Thanks Doug, now that is really useful and will keep me happy all evening.

***Hi Doug - repost as often as you like.

Actually, the frequency with which I keep losing then spending ages hunting out those drawings yet again makes me think that they may be better made "sticky" by placing them somewhere with a clear title in forum resources so they are always available.

Great Idea to have them stickied (sp?)

Hi Donone,

While Richard's drawing is highly detailed you might also find this simpler version useful.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one (it's one of the main reasons that BRITHO is the keeper of such things).
If you are using Peco track get yourself several Peco track gauges - they do the job for you including platform spacing.

Of course what Brian fails to mention is that when something goes missing, and it doesn't matter what it is, it's always my fault!!

That's not true at all - if something goes wrong it's your fault too !

Richard,

You are a mine of information (as are most on this forum). I will have to find more time to do such detailed drawings.

Thanks for the resource.
