I apologize in advance for the cross posting …
I’m looking for the spacing that any “modern” Narrow Gauge railroad would use between a passing siding and the main track, center to center. By “Modern” narrow gauge, I mean DRGW, ET, Carson and Colorado, White Pass and Yukon, EBT, or any other narrow gauge line that had large, modern locomotives and equipment to contend with, for whom the figures might still be available, including current practice on any of the surviving lines.
Standard gauge practice comes out to about 8 inches in 1:20.3 … which is workable. I’m just wondering if there’s a major difference for “modern” narrow gauge.
