    Hi everyone sorry for the late Hour but I need to know why the spacing varies when installing multiple Rails given that they should all be the same.

    Do you mean like building a Yard or something else?
    The rails don't automatically line up unless you use the Offset Tool

    This my Problem of Rails
    1A.png
    Regarding the visible white lines the first two look fine, but the third one looks bad it's out of alignment with the others.

    when I stretch the curve so it joins the others 3A.png
    Boom the problem that one of the three doesn't fit. 4A.png
    Do you know what is causing that problem?

    Does the same happen when you do a shallower curve? I've never seen this issue before and I think it could be caused by a tight bend. If not, try a different track rule, if possible.

    To answer your original question the Spacing looks ok

    In the last screenshot you can see the middle track doesn't connect (which they should), the red squares indicate the track is not joined and you can see it if you track the rail through the curve

    You could but when you join the track it just moves that section to the other piece making it even more misaligned at the other end, when you are laying multiple track like that all arrows should just snap on the ends of the track which it looks like the outside ones have but not that middle one

    tried myself and the problem doesn't occur for me. It's probably your track rule
