Thanks!The tracks are parallel until they diverge. Refer to this photo for the prototype:
I have a similar spot in my layout where two tracks run together. When I put them down, I intentionally eyeballed the parallel-ness of the two. I like the way it looks when one train is sitting there and the other runs by - the gaps between the two are not consistent yet not exaggerated. I realize that the prototype uses gauges to ensure even spacing along the entire route, but I just think it looks cool when it's not absolutely perfect.
Anyway, sorry to butt into the thread. I'm looking forward to seeing the scenery come together!
