I am designing my rail track plan and would like recommendations on the spacing distance between straight and curved runs of track. Also what is the recomended spacing between tracks in a rail yard. What number switch is the best to use for a yard ladder that would give the correct spacing on the rail lines. What is the recommended set back distance between structures such as rail stations, freight stations, etc. and the rail line. I am modeling narrow gauge in 1:20 scale. I will have both freight and passenger operations. All my engines will be steam with one small diesel shifter. My rail line time frame will be the early 1900’s. Is there a chart somewhere on the site that has this type of information?
Thanks for any help.
