Puzzled by these comments. All 00 flexible track already has shorter 8ft sleepers (instead of 8ft-6in for EM and P4). Templot templates for 00 already use 8ft timbering. If you are building 00 you don't need to think about shortening sleepers, or whether to do it or not. Just use 00 stuff as-is.
00 sleepers have been 8ft (32mm) long for over 60 years. One of the effects of Peco's 00/H0 existing track becoming so dominant in the hobby is that folks have forgotten proper 00 track ever existed.

Thanks for that information. I never noticed you had done that.
The newer versions of Templot are much easier to use than the older ones which Chapel was drawn with.
