HO grade crossing signals
Posted by chief401 on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 12:27 AM

Hi all,

I am looking for a simple (I hope) solution for upcoming grade crossing project.  I would like to have crossbuck signals with lights and have them detect and flash as the train goes by.  Does anyone have any suggestions on some good and simple to install models?  I'm not the best at wiring, but I figure this one is worth it.

Thanks.

JK

Here's a link to a site with plans to build your own circuit or you can buy it assembled too.

Nothing to make or build. Just install it.

I installed a TDP  (www.trainspeed.com)  system last November.  I used a pair NJI crossbucks.  Works great, looks great, easy installation.
