HO Curves & Spacing for several Tracks

[Anonymous]

Hello I am having a little problem, I would like to run this layout below. The problem that I am having is with the curves and spacing for the 3 tracks. What is the distance that these should be at. I think it is a 22 Degree piece of track.
It has been a while since my last layout, and I have forgot. Any help is welcomed.
Thanks

Generally speaking a spacing of 2 1/2" on center will allow you to run most anything except maybe those real long units. The track is 22" radius not 22" degree which is the term used on the real thing. One degree is equal to a one degree shift every 100 feet so a 22 degree curve would require 2200 feet (a rather large layout).

This is a table of recommended minimum track spacing on curves from the NMRA website.
