I am building a finescale 0 gauge end to end layout and one way of maximising the limited space I have for fiddle yards is to build a scissors crossover with two double slips at the inward end. I have had plenty of experience at building B6 and B7 turnouts using C&L components so I won't be starting from scratch. I have in place at the moment a Marcway scissors crossover but the curves are far too sharp and I have to couple the coaches at an unrealistic distance apart to prevent buffer lock. The crossover I am planning to build would be straight with the usual distance between tracks and I have already bought C&L templates for right and left hand plain turnouts but the Templot option seems to be much better once I have mastered the technique. I have already looked at one of your tutorials about scissors, but feel that I need to study the basics first! Thanks for any help. Kind regards, John Hurst. |
