Additional information, including clearances and track component dimensions, can be obtained from the NMRA Data Sheets and Recommended Practices.
Interestingly, a few model layouts have been built with loading gauges (clearances) that permit multiple scale operation, albeit with unrealisticly sized buildings, etc., for at least one scale. Thus N, 009 and HOn30 trains might operate on a layout, while HO/OO and On30 might operate on another.
