Anything's possible, but you would have to figure out some sort of block system to keep the two trains from colliding.
How to make one is described in The Train Collectors Quarterly V0l. 22-4 page 14.

It's to bad you do not research for the folks at TCA. They couldn't find any information. I even posted the same question here and the WTB. From now on I'll just ask you...LOL
Thank you!
Rich Reichard makes and sells plans for all kinds of specialty switches, crossovers etc.
That's the last e-mail I had from him.

Pappy,
Did you ask Jan, TCA's Reference Librarian?

By the way, what we are discussing here are "crossings", not "crossovers". Crossovers are pairs of switches used to divert trains from one track to another. Crossings allow track that are not connected to intersect.

Several years ago I asked Rich (Dick) Reichard to develop switch plans for use with some Gargraves dual gauge (G and Std Gauge) track I owned. He developed these plans and you can purchase them from him.

I have a couple of his plan sets. Well thought out, great presentation.

Ron,
All the information Jan could find was for, "switches" & "crossovers". These are not the item I needed. Granted they were nice. It would seem that each of us has a different idea when the word, "crossover" comes up.
I'll keep looking. Maybe just maybe one will come out of hiding.

Specifically did you ask for "crossing"?
