Hi western52 and welcome to the forum. Without seeing your layout it is very hard to come up with any exact measurements but personally I would add at least 2 more metres to the minimum distance required for clearance. Don't forget that there needs to be a safe space for trackworkers etc. to take refuge.

That sounds about right.
