Using XTrkCAD I made one with Atlas N scale. There isn't a 25 degree crossing, but the 20 degree works with #6 turnouts. Comes out to 2.25" centers and 17.15" long.
Ah ha! While writing this I tried it with a 30 degree and #4 turnouts. Works! 1.9" centers and 12.3" long.
so if im using a differant transformer for each line, id need to use the plastic track conectors in there somewhere right? on both rails of the track?
and if i want to have a sidding with a train waiting to pull out to the mainline using one transformer i just need to use a plastic connector on one rail with a jumper for the power with a toggle switch right?
id like to have a train pull into a yard, then unhook the mainline engine, and then pull out with new cars, then flip a toggle to move out the yard engine to break up the train that just came in.
