Apparently my track plan called for a crossing that doesn't exist (at least I haven't been able to find one), så today I tried something I've never done before:

The wood ties are Kappler S-scale low profile narrowgauge ties, which turned out to be almost an exact match to the Peco branchline ties! The soldering could use some filing, and the rail ends will be trimmed to fit when the crossing is placed on the layout. I still have to make all the small rail pieces and guard rails in the center of the crossing, and I'm thinking of building a small jig for this.
