Gary,
There are actually two crossings of the Sn2. There is the one at the edge of the picture where the Sn2 crosses two dual gauge S/Sn3 tracks just after the last frog of a curved dual gauge turnout. The second was one I just wired today, and that is just a standard gauge track crossing the Sn2 mainline, also with both routes curved. Actually I think we were talking about the second one. And I’m not finished with crossings. I didn’t mention it, but after Bert left, I also test ran the extension of the Sn2 mainline which was also part of my latest track work.

Is that the Sn2 crossing you were talking about in the photo? Gary Carmichael In a message dated 2/1/2013 10:10:54 P.M.

My friend Bert Mahr came over for a visit and helped me finish the last of the wiring. After we found and corrected a few problems, like the two pieces of rail I forgot to wire, we successfully operated a train around the standard gauge mainline. Most of the track is dual gauge S/Sn3 but there are two sections where it is only standard gauge. All handlaid with Code 83 and 70 rail. I placed a picture of the train in the L&W folder. With all the recent talk about Spiral Hill hoppers, I used mine in the train. The Sn3 mainline completion should follow in a few months. Dave Heine Easton, PA
