Can't find the standard gauge 45 deg crossing in SCARM or Railmodeller

The program is RR-Track.

Here’s a link to the original thread this came from:

As Jan said, the software is RR-Track and the track is Lionel O, there’s even a movie in the thread. In SCARM, the 45° crossing is at the bottom of the Lionel O library, #5545. If you try to recreate it in software, note that the design includes cut tracks. RR-Track doesn’t have a free trial version, so I suggest using SCARM. I don’t have RailModeler Pro, so I can’t help there.

However, you mentioned “standard” gauge, did you really mean that? SCARM has libraries for Standard Gauge (1:26.6) as well as “S” Gauge (1:64). The S Gauge library includes tracks for American Flyer (discontinued), American Models, FasTracks, GarGraves, Lionel and MTH. The only ones that have a 45° crossing are FasTracks (templates) and Lionel FT (American FastTracks). TrainZ sells some tracks, but I don’t know if that’s what you really mean.

Dave,

I first thought that it was O but after lookingm and the symbology used for the switches and realizing that the curves are 72: diameter I believe that it is Standard gauge.  RR=Track has that library.

Jan, based on the photos posted by Dr Folb on 5-18-2015 that include part numbers, it's definitely Standard Gauge, 1:26.6. In SCARM, that's the MTH-Std-L library and CS is right, there is no 45° crossover in the library. I don't have Standard Gauge libraries for RR-Track, but I assume it might be the same. TrainZ doesn't list a 45° crossing, just the 90°, so I'm at a loss. Sorry I missed the reference to Standard Gauge earlier.

Thanks!

The 45 degree standard gauge crossing is called the "#20X Cross" in the Lionel/Rydin/MTH stdg library ($9.00 option) to RRTrack as shown below:

Attached is the RRTrack file for the Lionel Layout adapted by Dr Martin A Folb for 22.5 degree curves. Here is the parts list:
