Take a look at the Fast Tracks website:

What do you mean by "crossing tracks?"
I meant crossovers. A piece of track shaped like an X
OK, I understand you now. That's a "crossing", and they are measured in degrees. Eg, a 15 degree crossing means that the acute angle is -- ta da! -- 15 degrees.
Google NMRA (National Model Railroad Association), and explore their website. IIRC they have templates for crossings, I know they have templates for turnouts.
A crossover consists of two turnouts in parallel tracks so that the train can cross over from one track to the other. A double crossover has four turnouts arranged to form an X, so that trains can cross over from either track to the other.
The place where rails cross over each other is called a frog. A crossing has four frogs, a turnout has one, a double crossover has eight.
Have fun!
That would be a "crossing". A "crossover" is a pair of switches (turnouts) that allows a train to move from one parallel track to the adjacent one.
