HO Atlas crossing on a double crossover

[RR_Mel]

The distance between frogs on the non diverting portion of the turnouts is just over 9¾”.  The diverted frogs are on opposite rails at 9.88”.

I finally finished the #8 Atlas double crossover drawing.  My Arthritis got so bad this time it even took its toll on me working on my computer.

The poor resolution is because the only easy way I can get a JPG for a CAD drawing is to do a screen print.

 

This is a link to my Google Drive to the HO Scale AutoCAD DWG file.

It is far from perfect but as close as I could get using Atlas pictures as go-bys, should be within 1/16”.

 

EDIT:

 

Something I didn't notice until I posted the picture above is on my layout both tracks of the double tracks are on the same mainline so I don't need to switch the frog polarities.  If the tracks have different polarities frog switching is a must have.
