Installing Crossovers and Turnouts (342)

Crossovers and turnouts are two essentials for almost all model railroads. After all, if you want access to industries, yards, and stations on your railroad you need a way to get to them off the mainline. In this video I'll continue my work on the Lynchburg area of my Piedmont Southern by installing a turnout to get to the industries and warehouses located there. Then we'll build and install a crossover using 2 MicroEngineering turnouts.
