Richard wants advice from others in the hobby and asks:
"What is the spacing of tracks where two run side by side? What is the spacing on curves? Previous answers have referred to NMRA standards but that means nothing to me. If I want to design my own layout how do I space?"
Please add your suggestions to help Richard below.
To be honest Richard I dont go in for measures and numbers my approach is too simply adapt the curvatures to suit your longest bogie wagon or coach, I insist on Peco Flex track to modify to suit.Place say a passenger coach on each curve side by side move them thru the curves to ensure they each other works for me

In HO or OO track spacing of at least 2" on mainline or in freight yards. The principal is that this looks correct and also allows you to reach in with your hands to pick up a car and not knock into an adjoining car.
ReplyDeleteIt also depends on the curvature you are using. A 24" curve will or should have a tighter distance between tracks than one with a 30" or more.
