Re: (erielack) Prototype track spacing

["Todd Stearns" <toddsyr_@_twcny.rr.com>]

Thanks Rick, it does help. I recently read somewhere that N is actually 
closer to 60% of HO though. I guess that translates to about 1.2 inches, 1 
and 1/4 for easier measurements sake. If anyone has had problems with 1 and 
1/4 inch spacing with longer cars, I'd really appreciate hearing about it 
before I finalize my plans. I'll be running some 89' flats, full length 
passenger cars, etc.
