<p>That, of course, depends on the specs of the turnouts. Some of the layout planning tools may have the specs, and I think Atlas has printed templates you could use.</p><p>I'd say, get a couple of the actual turnouts and see what actually works in the real world. If necessary, you can get the tracks a bit farther apart by using a short piece of flex between the turnouts. Getting them closer would require trimming them a bit.</p><p>Depending on just where these tracks are, you also want to consider access -- if they're in a yard, 2-inch spacing is pretty close. If they're near, say, a double-track bridge, you'll want to consider what spacing can be used in the bridge. </p>
