I was in the process of making something similar so I like the idea in principle. Has anybody used something like this?

 

In theory two sets (4 tools) would make it easy to lay 4 track mainline and would also facilitate the varying track spacing between straight track and curves.

 

Or I could finish the equivalent tools I was making out of some spare sheet stainless !!!

Standard double-track centres are 11ft 2in, or whatever the metric is, widening on curves and with superelevation ("cant")..

 

Standard centres between pairs of double tracks in 16ft 0in, or whatever the metric is.

 

PECO geometries disregard these facts; be warned!.
