digger62 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I am looking to do a small OO9 layout and was considering using a diamond crossing to save space in one area. I have tried to find one, but only seem to come up with a dual gauge one. I was aiming to use the Peco range of track, but if anyone knows of something that would be compatible with that I would be grateful. Many thanks.

An alternative would be to go for an n-gauge diamond crossing and hide the sleepers with ballast.

Or cut alternate sleepers out to give a more suitable spacing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used a N curved point by trimming out alternate sleepers and glued the offcuts to widen the remainding sleepers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the type of track - they represent Decauville and Hudson sectional track quite well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger62 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Many thanks for your responses. If I went for the N Gauge do you know if the rail height would be the same? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
