Reply to "Building New Standard Gauge/O Gauge Layout - Track Choices etc."

Looking good! I definitely plan to make my next layout an “around the walls” design rather than an “island”.

Just to clarify, the USA Track LLC standard gauge track we manufacture here in Malvern PA is made in five fixed diameters. The 42,57,72 and 87 are designed to be installed 7-1/4” center-to-center. The 72 to 84 center-to-center is only 6-3/16” , adequate for most vintage standard gauge, but not for some modern era standard gauge cars and locomotives. The Standard Gauge Module Association (SGMA) uses 7-1/4” track spacing, and the Ross standard gauge #4 track switches (designed in collaboration with the SGMA) make a crossover on 7-1/4” centers when connected as a pair.
