Hello everyone, Ive stumbled upon another question when it comes to wiring that I am hoping someone can answer for me. Do atlas diamond crossings have jumpers imbeded in them for both tracks? Photo of the bottom of the diamond in question, its a Code 55 11.25 degree crossing, as you may or may not know the diamond crossing has 4 plastic frogs. I can clearly see embeded jumpers for the track that runs lower left to upper right. It has jumpers to all sections throughout the crossing. But I do not see any jumpers for the track running upper left to lower right. Anyone know if they are under the others and just not visible? Otherwise, how does power get to the center sections for this track? Another photo with colored lines. I am questioning the yellow/green rails here. The red/blue are the ones with the visible jumpers. Also a side note, there will be a double slip switch installed on each track to the left of the crossing, which will be completely isolated from these tracks. So if I need to provide power to the yellow/green rails i can drop a set of feeders at the top left, but that still does not provide power to the center rails of the crossing for this track if in fact there are not jumpers imbeded.
I'm planning on using a Atlas 30-degree Code 80 crossing on my layout. I bought the track and used my volt meters continuity tester on the rails. All rails are isolated and have conductivity to their counterparts all through the crossing. I did not have to modify the crossing in any way to have it operate as needed or expected. I cannot imagine why Atlas would of not made their code 55 offerings the same. I recommend getting a voltmeter with continuity testing on it. I've used it a lot to test track connections and such.
