The much rumored dual-crossover is now available from the US Shop At Home site,

http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=7996&cn=139&d=328

This product announcement is bittersweet. The new rail set is available for R/C trains only, and I hope that readers here will do their best to adapt this design for 9V trains to run on. Of course, Ondrew Hartigan has, for some time, specialized in the modification of LEGO 9V tracks to accomodate a wider range of track geometries. To those of us on LUGNET, he is the one who deserves credit for creating the original dual crossover for LEGO trains.

For a recap of this saga, check out http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=28353.

(...) Huh. So one switch controls both main lines at once. I hope it's a 3-position switch, because otherwise you can't have both main lines in straight mode....?? (17 years ago, 18-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
