There is often a requirement for this formation: 2_041131_520000000.png  2_020547_020000000.png  Old hands won't have much trouble creating these -- make an ordinary crossover, invert the handing (CTRL-X), and then peg MXP to TXP (CTRL-7 to CTRL-5). But I thought it might make a useful built-in function for beginners, so I have added it.  Following suggestions from members it has been given the name "branch crossover". You could of course simply make branch track and insert a turnout in it. But you would then need to roam it into alignment with the double track, whereas the above method does that automatically. Unlike an ordinary crossover there isn't usually a reverse curve at the centre, so in this case curviform V-crossings are acceptable. Note that for accuracy the double-track section should be created as such from the first turnout and adjusted for length, rather than doing make branch track on the second turnout. This formation works better with equalized timbering rather than the default square-on style, so you see this option: 2_041131_530000001.png  This function is available in program update 211a and later. regards, Martin. |
