We recently installed an operating model railroad crossing with lights and moving gates on the peninsula, and I thought I would share the process with y'all. This is a relatively simple project that can be completed in a day and adds a lot of realism to a scene. Thanks for watching!

Very cool man! Thanks!!
All that's missing is a SWIFT truck going around the gates and getting hung up....BOOM! lol
Lmao..........Sure-Wish-I'd-Finished-Training........SWIFT
It is so cool to watch someone explain how they construct or operate their system. I don't have a system but like very much to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing your operations and layout updates.
Needed to show more. Hooking up everything.
Note: the straw method is NOT approved in the State of California.
Thornapple River Rail Series , very funny! Sad, but true.
Lmao
This remark is sooooo funny, but don’t let CA Gov ‘Nuisance’ know or he will tax you for the straw and send you to Nutty-fornia People’s Re-Education Camp. BTW, there are zero happy campers there. Happy RR’ing.
Is it because of Mexico being next door? Lmao
You could order plastic beverage straws online at amazon for beverages at home and for hobby modeling use.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Enjoyed, very nice setup.
Really nice video! I really appreciate you telling us which components you used, as it saves a lot of time that would've been spent looking for a good system.
Thanks for telling me how to operate crossings and i love your Train model videos
Thanks! Much appreciated :)
That's cool how realistic they can make model railways, specially like you said with the light pattern and sound pattern options on the Railroad crossing set up
I am learning sooo much from this channel, Thank so much for teaching me and showing me how to do what needs to be done ! God bless Your Dad and You! Thanks again!
Very nice layout ! Love seeing your updates .
Nice to know what you are using. Seems to work well. Nice outtake at the end.. Thanks for sharing.
That ending tho. 😂😂
No acknowledgment lol lol
Think a lot of ppl clicked off before that part.
🤔🚶💨ahh
@@TNCherokee1 I didn't, I thought it was hilarious! 🤣
That was funny, I wasn't expecting that @12:29but that was priceless! 💩💨🤣
Nice to see the signal lights and gates separate.
Hello Josh, if you do a follow up on this video I’d like to see what it looks like from underneath the layout, when the little arms that operate the gates look like from underneath when they’re moving and again thank you for a great video and for sharing. Mr. Bill CNW
sweet! saving this video for my next layout
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!
Great video , but the cost of purchasing everything is a lot more with more wiring and programming...MTH had a kit which was a lot cheaper but unfortunately they’re not making it any more JLWII 2000 had a video on it and it was just more simplified...
Great video Josh! Next I wish you would show us how you custom your switch stands and yellow handles!
Nice!
Great 👍 video Josh !! I like how you explain what and how you did your grade crossing. I also have a Walthers crossing signals like those .... so thanks 😊 for this information 🤩 !!!
Wow! Amazing!
Great video
First Nice video Josh! It's super helpful! Have a great day! I've been a fan since 2015!
Much appreciated. Thank you!
The signals look and operate great!
Is it possible to extend the gate arms on the NJI 1172 gates by using brass? I was looking at the Leonardtown Road X-ing on the CSX Popes Creek Sub, so I wanted to see if I could match it close to what it is.
Love that up dated signal kit.
I watched Rob Bennett install
signals and crossing gates with
Switch motors it was very time
consuming along with throwing
in a few cuss words under your
breath, I like the new kit!!!!
Awesome Video!
Nice Signals and controller!!!! I am sticking with Logic Rail Technologies for controlling the signals and gates. It is much easier to wire and program. They also have an auxiliary output to control additional gates, lights, and bells.
Nice setup.
this video was super helpful thank you
im making a layout of my own based off of florida so this vid helped out alot
Nice install, I have three gate crossings need for my N scale coming up. This was simple and who is giving dislikes. This just shows the hardware and basic installation. Some people just can't leave others alone.
Thanks Josh! Nicely done.
So to control a crossing buck flasher, it will cost $208.00 for the detection kit and the controller kit. I think my Arduino will be a cheaper alternative. Cheers from eastern TN
Great video. I already have signals but I don't have gates at the crossing.
Does this system have a time out if the train doesn't reach the island sensors in time such as the train stopping and such?
This is an excellent video Josh, I too will be installing my grade signals on my layout this year. Good advice as well, and it look great on the layout!!!
Thanks Jason!
Great tutorial. Always great work.
What happens if a train approaches but then takes that siding? Will the gates eventually retreat back up?
I'm curious too.
The approach sensors will trigger the crossing as long as they are activated. However, once a train clears the main and enters the spur (or a siding) the approach sensors will inactivate and the crossing will go up. Unfortunately, for that to work completely prototypically (that I'm aware of) would be to run the crossing control logic through JMRI and have track occupancy detection / switch position included into the logic.
Very cool. I wonder if anyone's made crossing gates that are powered by a little motor with a gear reduction for smother gate opening/closing......
That was really cool, thanks for a great video!
Cool
Thank you Nsmoderler
11:00 I see another train on the other track
Edit: great video as always
Outstanding Work!
Great ideas I can use for my layout.Joe
Looks like a great system Josh, will check it out for my N scale Layout, looks like a easy install. Bob
Wouldn't the boom gates go up and down smoother if you used a worm gear?
Do they sell these for o scale too? I’m actually considering moving to HO because it seems to be a lot more realistic and you can fit more stuff into a smaller space. Just wondering if they sell these though.
Stafford Northern Railroad Dude if you’re looking for realistic excellent crossing gates in O scale, I highly recommend to look at the crossing gates by Z Stuff For Trains. They come with the sensors, bell, control over how fast the gate moves, it has everything built in with timing, they gates rise 6 seconds after the train passes and if the signals are triggered by a train and the train doesn’t reach the intersection by 12 seconds the gates will rise automatically. Everything is built in, NO table mount and drilling required. Take a look for yourself on www.zstuffexpress.com/product-page/dz-1010-crossing-gate-set-o-or-s-gauge
Ryan Carlino thanks!
NJ international do 0 scale too and look more realistic than the Z stuff for trains ones that are plastic and more chunky (NJ ones are brass).
Rc servos? Nice. Great thing not only am i a railroad enthusiast, but also a nitro rc nut. Have servos for days. Mini to high torque servos.
Very useful tutorial. Thank you!
I think, if you were to put an expansion spring on the servo, so when the gate goes down the servo has a little bit of something to help put some force on the servo and make it lower without jittering. Just an idea lol
Great video. Awesome tutorial. Minor question : The crossing arm in the foreground didn't raise up to full vertical like the one on the other side. Was there a bit of flashing from manufacturing to trim off or is more in depth fiddling needed. Motion is fantastic and everything looks great !
Very interesting how to!
Nice
So the photocell sensors won't work at all in the dark? I don't run in the dark very often, but just wanted to ask. Thanks!
Will it work on a double track main ? Would I need to buy more photo cells? Like always awesome layout, thanks for sharing
I believe signalogic offers an expansion module for a 2nd (or more) main line. That can probably be found on their website.
How did you hook up the piano wire for the gates? What did you hook it up to and in what spot to have them lower/raise completely? A few crucial steps we'd like to see. Nice detail however.
Super setup
Hi Josh...real nice set up . what voltage does the control unit run on & is ok for dcc im 82 & cant wait to have a go at this great set up thank you for sharing...U.K. American railroad modeler
Do you know if this works for 2 tracks? I have a 4x8 layout and I’ve been thinking of getting a crossing
You used photo cells instead of I.R. i did too. When the lights were turned off the bell started ringing and the gates lowered! So I installed some leds in trees, etc. Now the sysrem works in light or dark.
Good idea. Thanks for sharing!
Wow nice work!!!!!
Josh are you running this off of track power? Your view from under the bench shows a red and white wire plugged in where the power connects.
If so was there anything special you had to do? I have seen this question elsewhere in the comments but I don’t think it was answered yet?
Thanks
Yes: very realistic 🚂
Hey so I got the kit without the arms and I have no wires for them. Do I have to buy wires for them and if I have to can you send me a link to it?
Hello. I m having trouble installing azatrax D2T circuit
How did you make the crossing pavement? Styrene or Plaster?
I would consider buying from Signalogic Systems their grade crossing system, but their website shows no news updates since 2012 and the link to download the CR-2 manual is not working.
I wanted to read the manual as I plan to build a switching layout which requires depending on length of locomotive and wagons the ability to stop half way across the grade crossing and reverse into a industry etc, and was curious as to whether the system was smart enough to recognize these movements.
I would get in touch with Kevin at Signalogic and let him know. He should be able to fix the manual issue or share it with you if needed. Thanks for watching!
@@nsmodeler24 I sent a email to Kevin and he sent me the manual and he has also fixed the broken link for the pdf CR-2 manual.
Thanks for the informative video.
Can I change the sound of the bells or the speed of the lights?
What if a train thats shorter than the distance between two sensors stops between two sensors, i.e. no sensors are blocked. Wouldnt that fool the system into thinking the block is clear?
Can you use this technique for any size gauge layout.
LOL That ending
How would this work if you have a 2 line crossing ?
Dude!!!! Please tell me how you got that type 2 electronic bell tone! I’d love to try that out
It's included in the kit. When buying you select either mechanical (fast), mechanical (slow), or the e bell.
Great addition to your layout,could you list items you used
Hey man amazing video quick question a friend of mine was wondering if you do the same with bachmann ez track with drilling holes for the sensors and connecting the control mechanisms
my grandson is realy into model trains where did you buy it
great video!
Nice Viedo thanks 😊
What is the approximate total cost for what you have here?
I know I’m a little late, but what did you use for your dc power supply? I’m trying to do this too but I don’t know what power supply to use.
Can you provide me with the part Numbers? Thank you for this video
it would seem the signal is very jittery on descent
Can this be worked to operate multiple tracks in one signal, and if so how do you do it
Hey random question . .... what is the ballast that you guys use ? It really well done .
Does the railroad crossing have different railroad crossing bell sounds other than the one or not?? Thanks.
Hi, I am having trouble hooking this up, do you have a video explaining how to program the CR-2?
Josh, what did you use as the concrete base for the gates and signals?? Thanks in advance
where did you get the gates from?
has anyone figured out how to make a grade crossing predictor in order to eliminate the need for sensors? (detects rate of current draw in track)
I subscribed.Joe's train world videos 😀😀😀
Great video did you ever consider recreating the NS F7 A-B-B-A business train
I noticed the bnsf units lights were on.
I wish the signaling series would be finished. Also, what's the music in the outro?
❤
Hi Josh, excellent video as usual :-) On a not entirely unrelated note I am a UK UP modeller and I was just wondering where your hand operated turnout switch lever comes from (0:46 and 0:55) and is it operational ?
Thanks for the kind words! That was scratch build using a details west stand and indication plate, and the lever was bent from brass wire. I wanted to make more, but it was very time consuming. - Josh
AWESOME Video Man GREAT VIDEO I Liked fam thats whats up bro im your 800th like fam with support
Love those cantilever style crossbucks and the road crossing looks fabulous. ..have you seen my layout?.... I have a railroad crossing u might like
I have the Walthers (HO) 949-4333 Crossing Signal Flashers (Working Lights)
Do I need a resistor wit the signalogic set up??
can this work on my dcc layout?
Is that an HO scale railroad?
if using lights only at crossing are all the sensors needed?
