hello pete
How long is a piece of string?
It varies from railway to railway. weather its mainline or branchline, how well it was built/maintained, and at the particular location of any given sleeper it varies depending on how close it is to a rail joint (and what type of joint it is).
Asking for a "standard" spacing is simply impossible.
Its a bit like catenery that people keep asking for OO track but they dont understand that its so much more complicated than that. if they make accurate catenery then people will complain that its far too complicated but if they make it so people can use it on their train sets it would be too simple and look stupid.
Track is much the same.
Making your own track is really not as difficult as people make out and with a little effort you can produce something that you can be justifiably proud of.
Sorry i couldnt answer your question.
Dont forget that if someone makes track for OO they will have to make tools for each of the different railway companies because of the different chairs.....
