Hi,
I've started building a crossover (OMF) and laid one stock rail and its adjacent vee crossing assembly.  Looking for advice please on how best to proceed from there.  

Many thanks

Cheers ... Alan

My favoured approach is to fit both common crossings at the same time, ensuring that whilst keeping the crossover in gauge you also preserve the back to back measurements between the wing rails (don't rely on wing rail gauges) use check rail gauges.

Get this right and the rest is plain sailing
