Revising my new O Gauge layout plan to around the room rather than center table. No matter how many combinations I try, I can not seem to get rid of the gab using the Scarm program. Have made other loops that came together, but this paticular time I can not get smaller than the 0.08" gap.  Will be using MTH real track.  Is the MTH real track going to for give this 0.08" gap and snap together or will I have issues with electric or trains running.  Thanks0.08 inch gap

I don’t see why not. SCARM uses tolerances of .079" and 2° whereas Any Rail uses .3" and 3°. I don’t know how either author determined those numbers, but I believe the author of SCARM told me once his were for HO track. You can change the settings in Tools/Settings/Edit, but I just do that if I want to run a simulation and don’t feel like cutting track to fit. If things fit with the defaults, then I know they’ll work in reality.
