This trailing crossover was on my bench overnight, and after a wet mornings golf and a lengthy drying out session in the clubhouse drinking large hot coffees modelling time this afternoon was restricted. Still I managed to get all the rails soldered up and tested with a wagon.

Just need to cut the rails to isolate the V's and gap the sleepers, the plan was made by someone else (better than my work) and is on a slight curve. Large radius curves (cannot remember the size) which will allow big locos to run through at speed. Built to 00 gauge.

Down memory lane, an old SMP 60" radius kit I have been asked to build. Not used the SMP plan, built to a B6 size. I have gapped the sleepers first and will fill them before fitting the rails, as it will be easier to sand flat without the rails in the way. Some time since I have used paxoline PCB rather than fiberglass which is much stronger.
