10 foot and 12 foot standard track spacing
Has anyone found out how to lay track with 10 foot and/or 12 foot spacing between tracks? Or laying multiple pairs with 10 foot between pairs with 6 foot spacings?

Re: 10 foot and 12 foot standard track spacing
hi,
this idea works for any spacing you care to imagine....
Try laying a single track. copy and paste it and the result will be parallel to the original. move to what ever spacing you want , 6ft in this case then paste again. then moving to the 10 foot distance you want paste again and again 6foot further on, then once you have the orginal 4 tracks spaced as you want then just use snap to track and away you go extending each track as you wish. Do be advised though that at 6 foot spacing you will most likely have all sorts of trouble forming junctions.
Another way is to create a track blueprint to your own requirements, thats a far more detailed process. modifying an existing one seems to be the easier way to go when embarking on this option. I havent ventured into it though.
