Double crossover

[Medina1128]

When I built my last layout, I used all Atlas code 100 track with Atlas turnouts and switch machines. That heavy clack was hard on the rivets. For my new layout I am using code 83 flex and will probably use Tortoise switch machines. Does anyone have any suggestion how to mount them and make the linkage for a Walthers code 83 double crossover?

I have 3 double xovers on my layout & I use Atlas #4 switches & Atlas switch machine. Sombody just gave me a Shinohara double Xover & I may take one of mine out & install it. He also gave 4 Atlas under the board machines to use as well. I also wired the machines in tandem so 1 control switch controls the 2 machines that will be involved for the route I have chosen for that train. Xovers are to me super as they give you more options when operating your layout. [:o)][:D]
