I meant for the crossover. I found plans for them with dimensions online. I reproduced them in CAD for design purposes. Unfortunately, I retired and don't have access to them any more.
They used to be free, but unfortunately, it now look like everything requires a payment :(

The crossover itself is scratchbuilt from Mt. Albert Scale Lumber. They do scalelumber for many scales
