Interchange track design using a wye intersection
This is a track design that provides a high speed interchange using O-72 WYE turnouts exclusively. The design was made using SCARM track planning software and uses RealTrax O track segments.
This interchange scheme would be used when two different railroad lines intersect. The east to west route trains can proceed using the north side passing siding or proceed north via the wye. West to east trains can proceed using the south passing siding or proceed south using the wye. Of course trains can reverse direction by using either the north WYE track or the south WYE track. A grade level "crossing track" was also added in the layout design. The track overpass is set at 7.2 inches rail to rail height.
A similar design using Lionel FastTrack O and Atlas O track will also be posted.
