Today I show you the double crossover I have added to the layout. I used four 0-72 switches and a 45 degree crossover to achieve this with added straights in between. I really am enjoying the outcome. There is also a hint at the channels next video topic at the end. Hope you enjoy and as always like, subscribe and click the bell for notifications, comment below, and tell others about the channel.

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching,and relearning.

I am planning a new layout and this is a GREAT idea for space saving turnouts and cross-overs. Thanks for the info..

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

Thanks. This is definitely a good design and I would recommend. If you need any more information, I can definitely provide that.

Hi Sid,Great how to do video. I liked the train crossing over. Thanks for sharing.Nick

@Nick L Trains I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to build a model railway layout try Pycanta Model Railroaders Protocol (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

@crazypickles8235 3 года назад

Very well done with those cross over points. I would love to have something like that

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

Very cool idea with the fastrack double crossover. Thumbs up.

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

Thanks. I wanted to have separate loops and the ability to have an infinite loop with a cross over.

@arthursogaugelioneltrains5744 3 года назад

Thanks for showing that crossover with those 072 switches Iam going to use 4 0 36 switches with that crossover.

really cool lionel o gauge 12'x8' layout with/double reverse or 3 loops

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

Are you talking about my layout?

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

Just confusing based on the video topic

@lawrencecafasso664 2 года назад

Sid, Do you run two trains with the crossover? If so any instructions on doing that? Thanks

@FusionShoks 2 года назад

All of my O gauge trains create sparks when going over switches, is it because it’s not getting a good connection to the rails or did I not connect the track right? I get anxiety from even powering on the track so I’m just asking what it’s from

@jagathgoonewardene507 4 года назад

Wonderful. Could this crossover be had for G scale Model Rail Roads too?

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

Thanks. I think it would. You just need 4 switches (2 right, 2 left) and a crossover. If you start experimenting I bet you can find a way to make it work.

@lawrencecafasso664 2 года назад

Do you need 4.5Inch and 2 1 3/4 inch on both sides of crossover? Thanks

@SidsTrains 2 года назад

Yes

@vrf201 Год назад

Great! Do you have the fastrack parts list? Thanks!

@Cfox2000 4 года назад

Just started following - have you tried using/programming any LCS track and having it automatically switch for you... this is why I have decided to stick with Fastrack. I have a computer background and love how LCS has allowed so many uses of engine recognition and track manipulation

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

I have but for the moment I have each pair set as the same number in the command system.

@allanmartinez1190 2 года назад

Cfox2000 Hello I'm sorry to bother you. I'm very new at this model railroading. What is LCS Track? Do you have a video on How-to-Install and run LCS? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan

@lawrencecafasso664 2 года назад

Sid, Why when I connect crossover both inner and outer rails short out?

@SidsTrains 2 года назад

You have your wires on the two loops different from each other.

@DonPedersen 10 месяцев назад

I intend to add this to my newest layout. I ordered the switches today. You could help me out while I wait by telling me how far apart the tracks are. My 2 tracks are on a shelf, how wide does the shelf need to be.

@DonPedersen 9 месяцев назад

14 inches

@rchrob1 3 года назад

What is the distance from center rail to center rail for the loops?

@rustyschmidt7238 6 месяцев назад

how do you keep the tracks iisolated so you can run two seperate lines?

@trainlover9943 5 лет назад

Very nice! If I had the space, I'd do this style crossover.

@SidsTrains 5 лет назад

Thanks Matt. Yeah, I like this style because it allows me to have continuous loop operation.

@@SidsTrains You're welcome! Btw, I'm not sure how you have them wired but I would wire them in pairs.

Hello I'm sorry to bother you I was wondering if I could use the same technique, but instead of a 54" Radius Switch can I use a 72" Radius on the Double Main Crossover? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan Martinez

@SidsTrains 2 года назад

I used 0-72

@buckman2011 4 года назад

How did you wire all the section of tracks and switches?

@SidsTrains 4 года назад

Three are command switches an only one needs wiring for a controller.

@josesantoro4124 Год назад

Good morning, is it possible for you to identify each FasTrack rail used to assemble the CrossOver of your Layout. As I am not able to assemble the CrossOver, please inform me of each Lionel Fastrack code rail. With this information I will be able to identify what I am doing wrong. Thanks

@langleyassault 10 месяцев назад

What degree are the switches? 30 degree? 22.5 degree?

@archivestereo 3 года назад

That’s a great idea. Thanks for giving the details on what track you used. It’s very helpful and very inspiring!

@SidsTrains 3 года назад

Sid - How big is your layout space? Also, could you post a diagram of your track plan? Sorry if I missed it somewhere else. Great job!! Thanks.....

@SidsTrains 2 года назад

My layout is roughly 160 square feet. Go check out Sid's O Scale Layout Update #3 for the track plan.
