There is one more fly in the ointment - LGB crossings are not all symmetrical, only the 22.5 degree one is, that is both legs are the same length, 375mm, with the crossing right in the middle.. <br /> <br />The 90 degree crossing is 150 mm across one way with the crossing in the middle. The track at right angles is about 184 mm across, with one leg 82 mm long and the other side 102 mm long. By butting the two 82 mm legs of two crossings, the parallel tracks will mate with a crossover made with two R1 switches. I have no idea what the 102 mm length is for except that it's about twice the length of the 10050. <br /> <br />The 30 degree crossing has two lengths, 300 mm (same as a straight section) crossed by a 346 mm section, each leg 173 mm in length. <br /> <br />I have only LGB sectional track so I don't have any data for other manufacturers.
