I'm in the process of designing my newest layout, the plan is to have two mainlines so my 11 yr old brother and I can run our trains consecutively, and I was planing on having a few cross-overs between the mains so that I can have a little prototypical fun in the center of the layout when we’re running our trains. We will be using the Prodigy Advance DCC system so wiring is not an issue, but what I am having troubles with is the turnouts and track center lines. I want to have a distance of 2" between the track center lines, and was originally going to use #6 turnouts to create the cross-overs but the Atlas Super-Track 83 turnouts I have drastically increase the centerline distance. Does anyone know of a way to create these cross-overs and maintain a centerline dist. Of 2"? I would rather not cut the rails short if I don’t have to, but I suppose it would be an option, is there a different turnout that would create a cross-over with a CL distance close to 2"? <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Carl
