And according to the category that it is listed in it is "Animals & Scenery"

All layouts have an element of compromise. Viewing angles in the 1:1 world are considerably different from those for models, so it is a often matter of getting something that looks right rather than being 100% dimensionally accurate.

Standards are a moving feast. At the time when most of the southern end of the WCML was 4-tracked it looks to have been done on the basis of minimum land take and minimum widening of cuttings and embaknments. When I worked on it I found a few places where the six-foot wasn't even six feet wide in those days, let alone providing a ten-foot.

Three items to note. 1 - Where there are more than 2 tracks, at least one of the intervals should be a 10 foot way. The GWR were quite lucky on this as they kept the old Broad Gauge interval in a lot of places when extra tracks were laid on either side. 2 - In 00 the track gauge is only 4' 1.5". Given that the stock is the same width as on 4' 8.5" gauge on the 1:1 railway, the 6 foot needs to be slightly wider. Using track centres is a more reliable way of avoiding side-swipes. 3 - Don't forget that because of non-prototypical curves there is extra side and end throw, particularly on bogie vehicles and locos. The minimum Passing Clearance between vehicles should be 18 inches at 1:1 or 6mm in 00.

20 quid BIN price for a couple of old Hornby points as well

Looked at his website, should have used the stuff that other beers don't reach. Nice clean areas where the most dirt collects.
