Crossovers In ScaleRail Options

[NorthernElectric]

Are there any tutorials out there on how to install a double crossover (MT1 to MT2 and back) in ScaleRail? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated.

Do they have to cross each other?

Do you mean like an X Crosssover? Or like a / \ Crossover?

The 10d turnouts can be connected without issue, while the 6d require a short 5_5m piece, and IIRC the 3d requires a 15_5m section.

Cheers!

...The 10d turnouts can be connected without issue...

Got it. Thank you.

Actualy Hack, the 3d switches require a "005_3m" section.

I think he would know his own ScaleRail?

Actually, hate to burst your bubble - however - Mr. Nelson was correct.

I agree. Again, thank you Mr. Nelson.

I agree too, but we all make mistakes.

Actualy Felice, unless you were looking at the wrong thing, I was correct.

Normally I wouldn't waste my time doing this, but I'm so damn tired of people telling me how to do something. I'm working on this route because no one else has the balls to step and do it, PLEASE do not tell me how to do something that you won't do yourself.

In the process of doing this trailing point crossover, I laid down piece SR_2rStr_w_010m.s At the end of another 10 degree switch, and another 40 meter straight piece - a degree switch is 40 meters long.

I laid two SR_1tSwt_w_m10dr_NS.s switches back to back (well, from the diverging end of the piece), thus creating the crossover, I then reversed the first process with another SR_2rStr_w_010m.s piece.

Before its asked, in the type of route I'm building trailing point switches are used, and facing point switches are rare, for safety reasons.

So, again what Marc said:

was correct. If you were talking about something else, then that's your loss. Marc told me what I needed to know.

Again, thank you Marc.

Trailing point? Don't you have to be coming off one of the legs of the turnout to get a trailing point move?

No. In this type of railroad environment, you'd reverse into the switch. Why? To prevent head-on collisions. You don't need PTC to have common sense. Contact me off-list for more information.
