>>10953174I would say it mainly depends on what locos and rollingstock you are likely to run underneath. In my experience, the easiest way to do it is to measure trackside at the clearance you are planning and run some trains through it. It's better to have too much clearance than not enough!
>>10955631I would suspect that it's the demographic that view model trains as simple collectibles to resell for a profit. Obviously, people are entitled to do what they want with the products they buy, but engaging in behaviour like you describe anon is hardly helping an already struggling hobby.
Have any anons here built reasonably small shunting layouts? I don't have the space for a permanent layout right now and so am debating building a simple Inglenook-based layout in 00 scale. I've only ever previously built much larger layouts and so am wondering whether I'll get bored.
