I'm trying to design a layout which may eventually include some crossovers, parallel tracks, and maybe an unavoidable S-curve or two, and I want to make sure I have enough clearance and transition space for anything I'm likely to run on it.  However, I'm cautious, and I don't plan on spending much money on rolling stock until I have some track in the ground.So help me gather some data points!What is your tallest loco or car in terms of vertical clearance?  Do you own anything that you don't think would fit under a 10" overpass?  How limiting do you think this would be?  Am I better off bumping up my overpasses or keeping my grades more gentle?Also, do you have any unusually wide locomotives or cars that might be unhappy with parallel tracks too close together?  Anything that's surprisingly long that might need more S-space clearance than I'm expecting?  Generally, any cars you bought that are greedier for yard space than you expected them to be?
