Hi Everyone, I have a layout that uses Atlas 3 rail track. I would like to get your ideas on what you did, if anything, where the tracks and streets/highways cross. My layout is basically finished so I don't want to tear everything up. This would be a 50's/60's look which I believe that the railroads used ties running parallel to the tracks between the tracks. I think some even used steel plate. Also, leading up to and leaving the tracks, how did you ramp the road? In the Oct/Nov issue of OGR, Scrapiron Scher has a good article on station platforms which may be adaptable to crossroads, but ramping up and down is an issue I would still have to deal with. So, all you creative minds out there, give me your answers please. Did I say inexpensively?
