... from each rail and allow them to overlap on the templates. Or you can omit the check rail entirely and extend the length of the wing rail to replace it. Note that for this to work the check rail gap must be the same dimension as the crossing flangeway gap, so that it will not be possible to have any gauge-widening through this part of the tandem. d. Usually there will be other check rail conflicts too. Here at 7 two short check rails can be replaced with one long one: 2_051004_520000000.png That would be done in Templot by omitting the new check rail and extending the existing one to replace it. e. Another consideration is the crossing angle required for the new V-crossing. Here at 4 the angle turned out to be about 1:10 which is a sensible working size. Bullhead crossings are not normally flatter than 1:20 angle, and you wouldn't want to build one flatter than about 1:12 if you are new to trackbuilding. After considering all these points, and much trial and ...
