Hello friends
I just started playing this model for a few months. Now I am planning to build a simple layout of two 22" and one 18" rails. So please, what is the minimum width of the model and the minimum distance of rails?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums. Your first posts will take some time to appear, so don't give up.
As Mel said, we need some more information before we can give you some help. This forum is very helpful for anyone with questions.

It sounds to me like you intend double tracked main line with nested curves. For the radius you mention, I would have separation, center-to-center, of not less than three full inches, (7.7 cm).
BUT...you might need more. The best way to determine what your minimum separation should be is to temporarily lay the tracks and see if your intended (and future long...) rolling stock will pass each other safely.
Hello All,
What size area and shape are you working with and/or planning?
If you can tell us that we can help with dimensions and clearance distances.
Hope this helps.
