I am sure we are all familiar with the "6 foot" way between running lines, but I was wondering if a wider gap was mandated between running lines and shunting sidings and the like. Does anybody know?

Thank you both.

>the Ministry of Transport required 10ft seperation between pairs of running lines
I was wondering how to get the 10ft in a simple way, so I measured the difference between the Streamline 6ft spacing and the Setrack spacing on the Peco way gauge. Guess what? The difference = 16mm which at 4mm to the foot = 4 feet, so the Setrack spacing is 10ft - sorted.

If the designer of the gauge is reading this, I bet he/she is feeling really smug right now!
