Chuck, that “appears” to be true based on SCARM’s rendering of the roadbed. If the 2 switches fit in reality, then I don’t know of any technical reason there is for needing a makeup piece between them. I can’t tell from the rendering just how much will need to be trimmed from the adjoining straight pieces. I will say there appears to be a bit of roadbed attached to the switch between the diverging ends. That’s not something shown in the software and I don’t know if it’s part of the switch. If it is, then that’s why there’s a makeup piece with no roadbed, so a crossover can be made without trimming either of the switches.
