Elevated Track Question

Derek is new to model railroading and asks for help from those who have some experience in the hobby:

"I am a beginner and am preparing a new layout and have planned an elevated track passing over a track on the base board. Please can someone advise how high would I need to set the top track above the base board for tunnel clearance, installing a bridge etc? "

It depends on the scale you are modeling in. The NMRA has clearance standards at the following link:
