At York, I bought some metal shelving with the grooves for train wheels. My intention is to start with a shelf of standard gauge and then add O Gauge shelves above that. What clearance do I need for the standard gauge? My standard gauge is packed away now and I'd rather not dig it out to measure it.

I'm a newbie but I can offer this. Below is a photo of my shelving (GSDS). There are several shelves with O Gauge, spaced 6". The single G-gauge shelf (the shelf with the CPRR cattle car) has 8" spacing to the shelf above it. I realize these cars aren't Standard gauge but they might provide some ideas.

I have wood shelves with the trains on standard guage track. There's 9" of space between shelves, but I think 8 would be enough to get your fingers in easily.
8" above the railhead or wheel flange should be fine for most Standard Gauge pieces.
