New question? Since the Menards 072 switch track are now on back order for some time I found I can get Lionel 072 switch track at some online stores.
What I am looking to do is to make a cross over using 2 pairs of 072 switch track and a 45 degree crossing.
Has anyone else done this before? I did find a video where a guy did it using Lionel Fast Track. But I am looking to do the same thing using Lionel Tubular track. I believe it should still work.
Welcome to hear any feed back.

You will be fine. Just don't go through it at ' Ludicrous ' speed. If you do have a derailment passing through with longer cars add 4 straight short sections to the cross over area.
