Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
I decided to try editing the library file, I'd hoped it was in some format that I could understand, e.g. an XML or SQLite-based format. But it's in a binary RSet (Apple Extensions Manager, apparently) format that I don't think can practically be edited without the source. I don't have one of these u...

Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
2020 catalogue says on p94 that it is "three quarter length", which would be 262.5mm, but p93 explicitly says 233mm

Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
The catalogue says 233mm, which ties in with your measurement. But their web site refers to "¾ length", which would be 262.5mm, and this seems to be what RailModeller has used. The real weird thing is the Scalextric official track plan book, by using the short straights, seems to be expec...

Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
Interestingly, the Scalextric track plans book contradicts the idea that it's a straight swap (with half-straights) for the 90˚ crossover. Here, they use dual short straights instead of the half-straight (156mm instead of 175mm):
All curves are 2R.

Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
The dimensions they have for the C8295 match don't match the flat crossover, but do match the description on the Scalextric site: C8295.png I did wonder the C8295 straights are a little longer to allow for the approach ramps being sloped (and thus a little shorted if viewed from above), but then the...

Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
Same here, with the two half-straights it is supposed to be a match for the C8210 crossover, but the latter matches up in RailModeller, while the former does not.
