n-scale clearance advice
Posted by nik_n_dad on Saturday, August 8, 2009 9:20 PM
Hello. Need a little advice on track-to-track & track-to-structure clearances in n-scale (in general). In particular, if we have a mainline that goes between a depot\station and a platform, what are those clearances? What if the mainline has a passing siding that splits off and we put a platform between those tracks? thanks

 Get an 86' hi cube boxcar.  If it hits, then move whatever so it doesn't.  Primitive, yes, but it's fool proof!
