The result of my cutting tracks a few days ago is these two crossovers. Both are operated by Power Functions M-motors, controlled by two receivers and a battery box in the signal box in the background. In the top right you see the remote controls.
Visible in the foreground are the MOC cards we use at brick.ie.
Superb peice of track construction which in actual fact would probably not be seen in full scale railways. .Except possilbly at the entrance of a large terminus. Track scale is "O"
After building one side I decided to do the other half and control the whole thing with one of my trusted old RCX's.
The slider mechanism is pretty much what you see here. The knob wheel hits a touch sensor to make sure the camshaft makes 90 degree turns. The other two touch sensors are for control. You may notice that I haven't got around to opening the crossover and removing the internal sliders.
Having the two sides linked this way means that you have 4 different positions rather than 16 but it makes controlling the crossover much simpler.
As you can see the left button changes the two yellow sliders, the right button changes the red ones.
The RCX program has no way of knowing the position so you need to make sure it's in all straight when you start the program. From then on the (simple) logic knows whether to turn left or right when you push either button.

The Red Arrows had to do a flat display as the cloud bas was so low but as ever, they put on a wonderful display of aerobatic formation flying.

An inbound (Q) train crosses into the express track south of Kings Hwy. North of here, the local track was out of service due to rail replacement.

5 Hornby diamond crossings. Steel track. Although a bit rusty and dirty, this type of track cleans up quite easily and looks much better than the newer Nickel type of rail
New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) R62A car 2160 (Bombardier, 1984-1987) is the lead motor on an uptown 1 train seen arriving at its final station, Van Cortlandt Park-242nd St, crossing over all three tracks to enter the stub-end terminal of the IRT Broadway-7th Avenue Line.

A crossover between Sailor Moon and some other characters. She didn't mention what it was though.

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.
A crossover study (also referred to as a crossover trial) is a longitudinal study in which subjects receive a sequence of different treatments (or exposures).
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen!
These looked deliciously regal, I needed to do something different... more special with them?
Difficult subjects. A REAL TREAT LARGE and View On Black
Who said do not work with children and animals? Please can you add flowers for meeeee, ha ha!
For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
