Yes there is one by Dave Snow on DSL but it is a Double Track both ways Diamond, which I know you don't want,,,,,,,,Go into your Content Manager, filter for Download Station, and right Filter, type in Track Diamond, and see what it shows,
Also Type in Track Crossing see what it shows for you......About 2-4 items I believe.
Now use this link in google,
https://www.google.com/#q=trainz+diamond+crossing
And you'll see a plethora of listed discussions etc, I hope that will give you some guidance.
As for what how to Signal a Crossover so Trains don't Crash, look at PGuys ET components.........

So your simple Track Diamond Signal Protection, will take lots of work, ask anyone here, and they will tell you that this has been one of huge thorn in our side, for something that should be so simple, as it were, it surely isn't.
I hope this will help you in your quest for the Track Diamond.

Your welcome Sir, I wish well with it!
Boat also made a level crossing signal controller. I may have the name wrong as I am not at my Trainzing computer to look up the details. You need to program it in a similar fashion as you would the ATLS controller and crossings for automobiles.
It works nicely and it's cool to see a signal drop to a red signal for a train approaching a level crossing as another track is approaching at the same time.

I'll expand this a bit. If ya want to do road/rail crossing, Use ATLS. If we're talking rail/rail crossing, ASB Crossover.
Both are DLS asset sets created by "boat"

boat's ASB grade crossing control is easy to use. All the directions are in the properties sheets for each asset. It also works in 2009, 10 & 12; I haven't tested it in TANE. Once it's set up you can forget about it; any sessions you create from the original will inherit the settings. Placing the triggers where you will be shunting requires some thought. The thing to keep in mind is, if you break a train to shunt, or even just run around, ASB will think the result is a NEW TRAIN. Therefore you should use the ASB Correctors according to the directions wherever that will happen. boat even has a nice clickity-clack trigger for realistic sound effects.
There are a number of suitable check rails (search "checkrail" or "check rail") on the DLS so you can build a crossing that looks real, too, with little effort.

They work in TANE as well. Make sure the word TANE is in the asset name. I actually use all three asset sets religiously(this includes the payware ASB Double Track Turnout AKA ASB DTT)
