Power problems - Kato Double crossover - nScale.net
WEBPower problems - Kato Double crossover. I installed a Kato double crossover. Power on one track side operates as expected, locos go right thru. The other side is dead.

Kato Double Crossover - nScale.net
WEBI have a single crossover now in my layout where I just butted two turnouts to each other. I'm wondering if I could incorporate Kato's double crossover for more operational fun, but what I need to know is what is the distance from center to center between the two tracks in the crossover?

Kato #6 turnout crossover - nScale.net
WEBMar 13, 2021 · As you know, with Kato #4's you can choose to use them power routing or non-power routing by adjusting the screws on the bottom of the turnout. With #6's, Kato chose not to make it so easy to convert. With #6's you need to take the bottom cover off and solder 2 jumper wires to convert them to non-power routing.

Wiring for DCC and DC on Same Layout - nScale.net
WEBI failed to mention that the 2 main lines will be connected by a Kato Double Crossover and each line will have its own DC controller. As long as the DC controllers are wired (polarities) the same then there shouldn't be shorts with the Kato #6 switches. Does the double crossover change any of your advice? Trains and switches will be DCC.
Kato Crossover - Operation - nScale.net
WEBHi, In DC operation, I would like to use a Kato Crossover to enable the routine routing of a train from the inner track to the outer track and similarly another train from the outer to the inner, without the need to use a double controller technique. I have acheived this electrically by changing a strategic feeder on both

Digitrax PM 42 Auto Reversing with Kato Double Crossovers
WEBLadies and Gentlemen, Attached is the basic configuration of my layout. However, I am having trouble wiring my PM 42 and getting it to work. My engine runs fine on the mainlines but then just dies as it approaches the reversing section/crossovers as if there is no power, and there is no action by the PM 42. When I manually
