Subroadbed Width Question

HO double track with 2 inch centers fits well on a 1X4 which is 3.5 inches wide. As to how far from the backdrop, the more the better. Min.would be about 1.5 inches from center with no buildings or tree or anything on straights. Curves need more room as it's a function of car lenght v radius. Buy an 85' car and see if it clears. Allow yourself a little extra or you'll be booting yourself in the duff later. FRED
