On curves, I'd up that to 3 inches, but in those cases, it'll depend on the length of your rolling stock. Prototypical spacing is around 14 or 15 feet I believe with some variability.
The staging yard is going to be all straight tracks and the mainline will be single tracked. I do know that at least two of the yards on the Cambria and Indiana both started out on curved track and then to straight track. I do have the track laid down on the short section of wood but not tacked down just yet.
