Hello, anyone with EZ Track layout having a #6 Crossover turnout. I am concerned for clearance between the parallel track. Would two On30 loco or rolling stock pass without touching. Thank you for your reply. pjf

No,
the HO #6 crossover tournout is for HO - clearance and not for the greater On30 - clearance. There is a big difference between. For On30 you need 3'' spacing.
See NMRA Standards S-7 (old time O Scale) and S-8 (On3).

The spacing between the tracks is 2 3/8.

Thank you for the info. I put 2 tracks at 2-3/8 center to center and there is enough spacing for passanger cars or a 4 6 0 to pass. It will touch on 18" curves.
This kind of info should be available from Bachmanns product catalogue but it is not.

As stated above there is a BIG difference between H0 & On30!
The track to which you refer does not look correct anyway the sleepers (sorry TIES in the USA) are smaller and closer together due to the diference in scale.
Also 0n30 is a narroww gauge system where the actual track on the the real thing did not look much like standard gauge track,
www. peco-uk.com take a look at the Peco website and you will see what I mean ref the sleepers and appearance. If you have a copy of 0n30 annual 2013 look at the Peco and Microengineering ads on Page 110
