Is the measurements on this drawing to the centre of each track, the outside rail or the outside sleeper. They don't seem to add this part. Thanks

As long as you are talking about LGB, here are two (of your three) sets of measurements . . .
Note that these are diameters. The 86mm increase (so 43mm increase on the radius) means the second set of figures are to the outside of the sleepers (if that wasn't already clear).
Remember to allow more space for overhanging stock, too!

Ah! Perfect. That's what i was looking for. Thanks.
Looking at the measurements, it looks like 360mm centre to centre between an R1 & R2. Is this correct, as it seems a large distance. ??

No. 360mm is the difference between the diameters . . . so it's just 180mm on the radius, which is the spacing between tracks (centre to centre).
