<p>When it comes to clearances, it´s better to do the sanity check by using a trach palnning tool like RTS or SCARM. Both are freebies and fairly easy to learn.</p> <p>Don´t forget, that HO scale standard gauge track is much wider than just a line on a plan. You need a minimum of 1 inch clearance from each side of the line on straight track and more on curves. There are a couple of spots in your plan where there is not sufficient clearance. Check the clearance close to the scenic divider.</p> <p>There is a lot of valuable advice in the answers to your original post. If I were you, I wouldn´t just brush that off. Most of the folks have been active in this hobby over 50 years and heeding their advice will keep you from making frustrating and costly mistakes.</p>
