How difficult would it be to make a "fake" 67.5 degree crossing with ScaleTrax?  The crossing would only be powered on one route through the crossing, with the intersecting route non-powered.

 

I want to put in an interchange siding on my layout that would be modeled to give the appearance of a second rail line crossing the layout main and feeding one end of the interchange siding.  This would be used to do virtual drop-offs and pick-ups from the interchange siding.  My problem is, due to how everything is laid out, the crossing angle would need to be 67.5 degrees to make it look believable.  If I use a standard 45-degree crossing, it would require using a LH and a RH curve on both sides of the crossing on the non-functional route, creating a visual "S" curve.  If I can go with the 67.5 degree crossing angle, the non-funtional crossing route would be straight.

 

Thanks!
