I am looking to create my first permanent layout (still in the planning stage) and was hoping to do an On30 trolley to go with my traditional O gauge layout. I have been looking for a crossing of On30 (HO) and O gauge track. Does anyone know if this exists? Or would it be possible to create one? The tracks would obviously need to be electrically separate. I planned on using fastrack for my O gauge, but this is not a requirement. Thanks!

Nope, there's no commercial O/HO diamond that I'm aware of (in either 2 or 3 rail for the O). A friend who's into 2-rail O spent a lot of time looking for such an item and turned up nothing.
You're welcome! Russ
Thanks, I have not done any hand layed track yet, so I may consider it down the road. I was just hoping I could get my narrow gauge trolley to cross my standard gauge track. I will take a look at the hand layed track. Thanks again,
I would take a 2 rail O crossing and remove the center of one crossing track to narrow to HO width, then add a center rail for power to the short O sides.
Could you post a sketch of what you are looking for? There are several ways to accomplish a crossing without scratch building. Russ
TOTRAINYARD, Thats sounds like a possibility. Russ, here is what i was thinking...
Where light blue is O gauge and red is On30.
