Using my crossing assets.
The actual crossings themselves, as found in the Surveyor objects tab, are simple enough and need no further explanation. However to get the best visual appearance you should also use the other assets to simulate the presence of a flange groove and (optionally) a checkrail and it's the use of these assets which is described here.
These flange & checkrail assets can be found under both the objects tab and in the track > trackside tabs.
We'll start with those found in the objects tab which are:
C+ TT LC 1T Waygauge & Crossing Track 2m,<kuid:243828:100745>
C+ TT LC 2T Waygauge & Crossing Track 2T 3.5m 2m,<kuid:243828:100614>
The above assets are track templates which are placed before the main track is laid and they adopt the type of the track attached. They have built in flange grooves and checkrails and can be handy when the location of crossings is know at the start of tracklaying.
Those found under trackside are:
C+ TA LC1 04/02m Crossing & Planks,<kuid:243828:100660>
C+ TA LC1 00/02m Crossing & Planks,<kuid:243828:100659>
The above assets can be placed on to previously laid track to simulate flange grooves plus checkrails. They include built in ramp timbers matching my ramp assets..
C+ TA LC 02m Flange Groove (Single),<kuid:243828:100658>
C+ TA LC 02m Flange Grooves,<kuid:243828:100651>
The above assets can be placed on to previously laid track to simulate flange grooves without timbers.
C+ TA LC 02m Crossing Track Single,<kuid:243828:100650>
C+ TA LC 02m Crossing Track,<kuid:243828:100615>
The above assets can be placed on to previously laid track to simulate flange grooves plus checkrails
without timbers. The single asset is on one rail only so you can place two offset for diagonal crossings, the other asset is on both rails for a 90 degree crossing. Use these with my barrow crossing assets.
These flange & checkrail assets can be found under both the objects tab and in the track > trackside tabs.
