crossing for # 7 turnout

[dick green]

Hi all
Ive searched high and low and cant find the answer. Does atlas make a crossing for this turnout?
Thanks

No. It would be a 16.25° crossing if they did. The 11.25° is for #10's and the 22.5° fits the #5's, but nothing for the #7.

Thanks for the answer, even if it wasn't the one I was looking for .
Ive built a number of turnouts but was kind of dreading a crossing. Any  idea where to find a template and are the frog angles the same as the turnouts
Thanks
Dick

you can come really close with the follow crossing

14973, N MiniTrix 14973. Crossing 5 7/64". 15º   10 7/32"

you will need to cut the connections between ties to render the arms to semi flex like track
to compensation for a less than 2 degree angle difference
or you can make that up with flex track entering and leaving the crossover

fwiw

(discerned this using AnyRail software which is spot on with track geometry)

Laying your own crossing isn't hard, IF you're comfortable soldering and filing, much easier than building a turnout.  I can post a description of how I built my only one if anyone is interested.  The original post was on the Atlas forum, but the techniques haven't changed.

Maybe this could help?
