    I have almost finished my track planning and will start handlaying my turnouts very soon. There is one spot that I think I would like a degree crossing. I'm not sure yet what degree it will need to be. I saw that there is one available from Rokuhan but I am not a huge fan of the roadbed track and will be using Micro Trains flex. Has anyone made their own? How hard would it be to make one using Micro trains flex? I did a search but saw no results for my questions.

    Hand laid is possible but getting PC board ties and soldering rails down is the easy part getting the isolation correct is the hard part, Rokuhan makes crossings in 90 and 30 degrees and they have an adapter for working with Flex part number A014 package of two.

    Marklin makes a crossing too, I think it is 13 degrees, and no roadbed. Might be a starting point. Don't use the 8590 automatic!!!!
