Which Crossing Gate & Flasher is best
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 28, 2005 10:39 PM
Which Crossing Gate & Flasher is best to buy? I prefer the 2 in 1, but the Lionel doesn't flash. I've looked at the MTH separate Crossing Flasher (30-11014) and Crossing Gate (30-11012). I've also looked at the Lionel Mainline Auto Crossing Gate w/ flashing signal (6-14098) which is a 2 in 1 that looks really cool (and comes in a set of 2). Does this work well? This would be my preference. Then there's the Lionel Crossing Flasher (6-12888) and Crossing gate (6-12714).
What does everyone say?
Thanks,
Craig

Fjerome: How easy are these all in one signal crossing gates to install? I'm a novice at electronics.

Thanks,
