N Scale Atlas Code 55 Track Crossings
Posted by gopherbroke on Sunday, January 22, 2012 11:35 AM

When using track crossings, do you have to match turnouts coming from both directions for the crossing in between the turnouts (for example, 22.5 degree crossing between two #7 turnouts, or can you mix and match turnouts. Also, are there any wiring issues when using a track crossing section? Thank you.

One can mix and match, adding curves as necessary to align the tracks as needed. Here's an example of the process I use in CAD with HO scale, but of course it works fine in N scale as well.

Pre-fab track crossings such as Atlas are typically already isolated as needed.
