HO Track Spacing and N Scale Houses

Two readers are hoping someone can guide them.

Bill asks:

“When running two HO tracks side by side how much space should I leave between them?”

Pat asks:

“Where can I get an n scale house built from a picture I have? I have a small budget. Thank you in advance.”

    The non technical answer is; Just Wide enough that 2 Bigboys can pass each other without leaving any parts behind in the roadbed after they go by each other!!
