The range of angles available in the 'V' crossing angles don't seem sufficient. At what point does a diamond crossing change to a flat crossing? Hi Dave, Here's a quick dabble on your rough plan: 2_091645_400000000.png Templot will go down to 1:1.5 angle. As you can see your crossings here are around 1:2.5 so easily within range, and it's easy to get the basic alignments using make diamond crossing at intersection in TDV. At these short angles the timbers will need a bit of shoving to tidy them up. By a "flat crossing" I think you mean a short-angle crossing? I don't know of a specific limit, but Templot doesn't directly support anything shorter than 1:1.5 At those angles ...
