01-Settinp up the scheme for the crossing. I first put down the toprail and after that lined up a 1:9 point template over the lines

02-One step is skipped here, namely the placing of the full point templates. This was done prior to this. After I had lined up the point templates I removed them and cut them to size to just no overlap

03-I sprayed the template with 3M "Post-it" glue on a copy of the original template. Use a sheet of paper next to the crossing template to catch the overspray. Otherwise you will be working constantly with your hands sticking to the paper

04-The left half of the sleepers in place

05-The right side still needs doing. The darker marked sleepers are additional sleeper. Those are missing on the 1:9 point as well. Given the thin rails I prefer to have a bit more body at those locations

07-For ease of builing and lining up I put down a through going rail at first, this will later be replaced

08-I used the 1:9 point jig for the various bends. In the jig it is easier to rightly align the rail. FT advices to remove the feet of the rail. This might be usefull in scale bigger then N, but in N the feet of the rail is 1,2 mm wide, so I have found no need for thinning the railfoot

09-Detailed shoot of the bend rail

10-Everything kept in place with various jigs. The FastTrack filing aids are great for weighing down
