Wild Crossover Layouts for G Gauge
The 30 degree crossover adds immeasurably to the variations which can be had in Garden Railways. Most of the following layouts are for garden display.
Crossover: Two turnouts (a.k.a. switches) and a connecting track that allow a train to be diverted to a parallel track.

Similarly, if you have a crossover from one mainline to another, you will have 2 turnouts - one on each line - that will have to be thrown for the train to make the crossover without derailing.
We were lined up to continue down number one main and told to hold up at 47 Crossover at the south end of the yard. Of course being that we had a stop signal at 47, there wasn't much choice in the matter anyway.
Where the ABS/DT section is very long, it becomes impractical not to have crossovers between the main tracks.
If the main line is double track, there have to be crossovers to allow trains into the yard. Also, the receiving tracks must be located so that access from the main does not block yard leads.
