If I add super streets to my layout I have a place where I need to cross my gargraves track at less than 90 degrees. If I can connect the gargraves or even tubular track directly to super streets I could use an 45 or maybe 60 degree crossing. Has anyone tried this? I have not bought any super streets yet to experiment
Thanks

Hi Al:
Yes I have connected Superstreets directly to Gargraves flex track and it’s not hard. The Gargraves pins fit right into the Superstreets outside rails. Obviously the center rails can not be connected due to the configuration of the Superstreets center rail so you need to leave a gap and use an extra feeder wire. And there is a height difference so depending on what you are using for roadbed you will probably need to shimmy up the Superstreets.
But I was not aware that Gargraves makes anything other than a 90-degree crossover?
BTW, I’ve also connected Superstreets directly to Super O track and to O27 tubular. K-Line/Lionel did make a Superstreets transition track to mate with tubular O but I’m not sure that Williams by Bachmann continued that item when they took over that product.
When do you head to Florida?
HTH,

You are correct. Gargraves only makes 90 degree crossings. I can go with 0-27 or O gauge.
