... topic: 1109 Crossover.... Timbering posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:02 from: David Hiya guys I would be grateful for any thoughts on the Timbering as shown on this Crossover which has greater spacing between tracks. 1522_210347_340000000.png I have highlighted in red an aproximation for the joints and have extended timbers from each turnout. The Gwr seemed to have their joints after the 5th crossing from the nose, but the difficulty here is to timber from each nose equally to achieve a joint after the 5th crossing timber. I am by no means an expert here and would appreiate any thoughts people have. just want to get it right before I build. As an after thought, I have not built a crossover yet. Would any one have any advice? as apposed to a single turnout.
