All of the track in Dib's yard is Peco 00 gauge Streamline code 100 and hence has the standard non-prototypical sleeper spacing, but I wanted to experiment with . So using the 3D printer I have made a couple of spacing jigs and had a go at re-spacing the sleepers.
Initially I created a jig for 5.5mm gaps and tried this on the Creamery siding and the end of the scrap yard. You can see this on the next picture. For this small layout I think this looks a little too "forced".
Next I have tried 5mm gaps. You can see from the second picture , the re-spaced sleepers are on the left hand side of the track versus standard spacing on the right hand side. I think 5mm is my preferred gap size as it does not shout at the standard point-work sleeper spacing as much. What do you think?
