Hello, Has anybody  used these? Do they work as well as advertised? I would imagine more reliable

than the old Lionel gravity activated version,. Thanks for any feed back, Chris

About 6 years ago I installed on on a layout for a friend. I hooked it up to power and operate a set of crossing gates and flashers 9 they where the scale ones ) it work real well the only draw back we were trying to do it for 3 sets of tracks and it just didn't have the range to read the 3rd engine or 3 set of tracks but it read the double tracks real well so that my experience with it.
