Hi guys
Can anybody help me. At long last I am starting to build some track for my future layout my question is the sleeper width by the rail joint on GWR track was it 10" or 12". I have looked in various books to ascertain the width but still not sure.

Regards
Pete

I thought it was 10" and 12"used for turnouts. if you haven't already got it, a copy of David Smiths book is worth purchasing

P.S Dan Randall has slightly turned me to the dark side as I now have a Martin Finney 4500 gallon Bullied tender heading my way (my wife is buying the B/B loco for my birthday).
