Crossover wye
I've been trying to figure out how to add an easy-access staging yard to our modular layout, and this crossover wye module set is one possibility. It conforms to the modular standard (bottom connections), and would allow access to staging yards (top connections) from the centre of the layout.
The geometry was a nightmare to figure out, and it only works for PF track. I had to use a few segments of (unflexed) flex track, and the gaps between track segments are too large to maintain 9V connectivity.
The nice thing about this wye (and the main reason the geometry was so tricky) is that the top connections also conform to the standard, so standard yard modules can be used as the staging yard.
