Nice work! Anyone considering this may also want to think about using the part from Viessmann:

Or this one:

New version with easier mounting and now includes single and dual straight track, single and dual R1 - R2, single R3.

For what I'd guess we'd call an unguarded crossing in Australia - going back 50 years to when there was a lot less regulation and apparently the general population was a bit brighter.





Clearance to mounting hole centres is 8mm with 22cm coach on R1.

Have made some dodgy items to go in the 4mm mounting holes but plenty of much better items available out there I'm sure.

Hopefully all 12 stl flies in this zipped folder ... ?

The low height of the pukos remains an issue for any homemade curved design. C track sections are pretty uniform but the range specified in the standard is quite broad. Happy to hear of solutions ...

BTW - Here's what the standard says -

For optical reasons, a row of point contacts is usually used as the middle conductor instead of a continuous rail.
Distance: The point contacts are generally placed at threshold spacing; twice the threshold distance (approx. 16 mm) must not be exceeded.
Altitude: Between 1.8 below SE and 0.6 above SE. (I assume that's the rail surface).
Lateral Deviation:
on normal track: Usually +/- 0,
in turnouts: Individual point contacts can be up to approx. 2.2 mm off center. The lateral deviation is due to the switch geometry. However, it must also not exceed ± 2.2mm.
