Building a curved point crossover using Hornby OO gauge track requires pairing a Hornby Left Hand Curved Point (R8074) and a Hornby Right Hand Curved Point (R8075). Both points feature a 438mm radius curve with 22.5° and 33.75° arcs, designed to transition trains smoothly between parallel sweeping curves.

Design and Layout ConsiderationsComponent Pairing:

A proper curved crossover requires one R8074 and one R8075 arranged in opposite directions to let locomotives transition from the inner loop to the outer loop (or vice versa).

Track Geometry:

Hornby Setrack curved points incorporate a short straight lead-in section. Exact parallel alignment on sweeping curves can sometimes require minor filler pieces or adjustments depending on whether you are matching standard 2nd and 3rd radius curves.

Curved crossovers can add a bit of variety to your layout instead of using standard Hornby left and right hand points. Unfortunately there is no standard set available to purchase which gives you the entirity of the track needed in one place.

This listing gives you all of the track sections needed to make a two lane (2nd to 3rd to 2nd) radius curved crossover.
