Reply to "FlyerChief GP7's and Baldwins on postwar AF track, switches, and crossings"

Do tiny-roller equipped Lionel AF engines run OK over Gilbert 725 90-degree crossings?  This pertains to most recently produced FlyerChief GP7 and Baldwin diesels as well as some earlier L/AF conventional Geeps, their last-run NH EP5, etc.  I asked previously about their performance over abutting Gilbert switches and some reported back that they're not a problem, but I forgot to ask about crossings.  The gaps on them are considerable.  Thanks in advance for sharing your experience with crossings as well.   See photos below.
