Rather a long shot but could anybody please give me guidance as to the sleeper length, width and spacing used on Queensland's track and turnouts. (Mainline not sugar cane railways) I took some photographs on a preserved line but they didn't come out as clear as I'd hoped and 10,000 plus miles is a bit far to pop back.

Thanks

Gordon

Gordon,
I have copied your enquiry to a few modellers of the QGR scene. Nil response as yet but let's see what develops. I'll pass on anything that comes to me personally.

Gordon,

As a long shot you could contact Andy May who is a bit of an expert on WAGR and I know that he has details of WAGR 3' 6" track.   It's the other end of Australia but the track details may be similar, or the same.  His web site is

http://website.lineone.net/~asmay/

which has email contact facilities for him.

Jim.

And from John Divine on the "Trackwork" group:

You could always try the Permanent Way Institute in Australia. The UK
website (http://www.permanentwayinstitution.co.uk) lists branches in South
Australia, Queensland and New South Wales - however Queensland appears not
to have any internet connections. One of the other two may have contact
details for this group

John Divine.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. At least if I get it wrong nobody is likely to know!

contact Southern Cross Model Railway Association, email amrmagzn@tpg.com.au.
This organization is an Australia Wide and has representation in all States of Australia.
I am sure they will help.
A letter to the editor of AMRM (Australian Model Railway Magazine) using the above email may also bring more responses.
