Really Easy question
Posted by Fred Bear on Saturday, December 30, 2006 7:26 PM
I ripped my layout apart, I needed to start over. Things were added that didn't make sense, then others added to try & rescue those efforts. Anyway, here's the question. I'd like to use a 90 degree crossing, so what's the trick with track to make that all work out right???? I don't drink or use drugs, but this thing is beating me up!!! Should I be drinking maybe? Never tasted alcohol, but if this things doesn't straighten up fast, I'm about to start! Jake

Every track manufacturer makes 90 crossovers you just have to dig a little to find the right one.

I'd like it to be symmetrical, same amount of track on each side, without mixing track size. It appears that 6 or 7 pieces on each loop sends it to the 90 in the same place. Any ideas? Are there standard loops & number pieces of tracks for this? thanks, Jake
