The invention relates to gauge spacing apparatus for positioning pot sleepers with respect to existing sleepers of a railway track where the existing railway track is provided with a pair of turnout rails which are separated from one another by a desired gauge distance. The gauge spacing apparatus includes a first guide member which is aligned with and secured with respect to a portion of the existing rail, and a second guide member which is angled with respect to the first guide member at a turnout angle such that the second guide member is aligned with a portion of a turnout rail to allow the turnout rail to be provided with supporting pot sleepers such that the desired gauge between the turnout rails is maintained. In addition to this A-frame apparatus a rectangular gauge spacing apparatus is also provided.
