I am running 3 rail O gauge with a ZW. How do I allow two independent lines to cross over into each other?

More information needed. Are you asking how to connect 2 independent tracks so that trains can run from one independent loop to another? Also, what type of track are you using and are you using isolated blocks throughout your track system?

If you are looking to use a crossover like a 90 or 45 degree I believe all you need to do is make sure that the common post is connected to the outside rail on each loop, and to make sure the center rails of the crossover are isolated from each other.
thanks for the reply Paul. I am using 3 rail tubular with a ZW transformer, and yes I do use blocks just don't know how to set this one up.
VINSK - is each loop tied into a separate channel on your TIU? My layout has two large loops also and each loop is wired to separate channels on my TIU - I use Atlas track and connected both loops at two points on the layout with high speed turnouts. Between each pair of turnouts I placed a fiber pin on the center rail much as you would in separating each isolated block. Is this what you are trying to do?
