I'm working on yet another layout.  I seem to put them up, run them for a few months, then tear it down to do another one.  Ez track makes that possible.  Thanks Mr B.

Now back to the question.  I was wondering the width of the #7 crossovers.  from edge of road bed to edge of roadbed,  I currently do not have them, but I can at least set the tracks the proper width apart while building the rest of the layout.


Thank you all in advance.

Dear Mike,

According to Hunt, the #6 crossovers have 2-3/8" centerline to centerline spacing. 

Add 2 inches for track bed width = 4-3/8" total outside to outside bed width.

He also states that its length is 21-1/4".

Hope this helps. 

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

Joe;
Thanks, that is exactly the information I was looking for.  Although the site I order from called them #7 crossovers, I did not see #7 crossovers in Bachaman's list of track pieces here.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.
