Re: 175M Ross Crossover 0-72 question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello,

I was wondering if the Ross, 175M crossover section works OK (such as no derailing issues, etc.) with some of the large steamers/engines that require the 0-72 clearance? I like them but was concerned about this.

Thanks,

Ron W.

The Ross double crossover uses an 11 degree turnout where the diverging routes are straight, not curved. These switches are much more gradual than an 072 switch. They look and work great!

I have one and it works great. Only potential problem is prewar Lionel uncoupling sliding shoes breaking off.

well my 2014 VL big boy never seems to mind using it. I don't think you will be disappointed if you buy one.
