<p>I would recommend taking a look at the NMRA standards and reccomended practices.  Specifically S-7 and RP-11 (S-7 is clearances and RP-11 is rolling stock and curvature).  Unfortuneately these are not currently available as the NMRA website is being updated (I just checked 7/26/14 @ 7:10PM EST), but the cat page not found gif is hilarious.  This will give you an idea of the recommendations for minimum curves for your rolling stock and the clearances necessary.  An NMRA track guage is also an invaluable tool (once you start buying and laying track).  It is a go/no go gauge that covers clearances, track, wheels and turnout clearances, with instructions on each measurement.</p>
