<p>I walked into a hobby shop today on way home from work. There on the counter in front of the N scale area is a complete Kato N scale track planning template for use in graph paper. It includes all (That I could see) of the Kato N track segments.</p><p>I have been working on my wye which has grown to become a Junction. I managed to solve the 90 degree crossing problem by thinking in terms of degrees of curvature instead of radius. Two kato 22.5 degree sections = 45 degrees. Two sections of 45 degree curved track more = 90 degrees.</p><p>But alas, Im in HO which means the Kato bridges are not availible. No problem. I plan the Atlas Bridge with flex track and cork. I will have to engineer a solution to keep everything "Level" at the railhead but then again.. I love to solve problems.</p><p>Anyone can run a railroad up a mountain, but cannot come back down without a bridge. LOL.</p><p>Of course, if Kato woke up out of thier slumber and issued HO scale bridges, dropping one into the trackplan is... well... cheating aint it?</p>
