Distance between parallel tracks

raising4daughtersOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

Are there any rules/guidelines for an appropriate distance between tracks running side by side. I lost a lot of space for my layout and am now relegated to a 4' X 12' rectangular space with an adjacent 2' X 10' connected at 90-degrees to form an L. The 2' X 10' will be my yard.

For the 4x12, I'm not plannining anything creative. I'd actually like to do 3 concentric ovals....42" curves, 34", and 27" curve (I'm using O27 tubular track). I run all semi-scale stuff, and all are rated for 31" or 27" curves.

It all fits on RR Track in theory but don't know if it'll work in reality.

I attached a BMP file with most of the action-packed layout. If someone knows how to make it a pdf, please let me know.
