NMRA Standard S-7 gives lots of dope on "big enough to let the train through." Be careful to note they are for tangent track. If you are on a curve add at least a 1/2" on the outside for more clearance. I suggest you make a cardboard test section and run your equipment past it both ways. Big Boys and other long overhang locos need more space than you would guess.
