  • Just a short video showing the five now-automated crossings on the layout. Really nice to go from throwing a manually-operated switch to full train-actuated operation! Crossing circuits are the Grade Crossing Pro units made by Logic Rail Technologies. www.logicrailtech.com/index.htm

    Well done video! Love the mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* ! The LEDs are made to illuminate like incandescent lamps - brightening up and dimming out.2:22 like the real traffic signals in the back!

    Awesome job on the signals John.. I want to say the view at about 1:47 and 3:31 angled grade crossings are great shots. Wow! You have giving me a good idea from this for my layout. Great modeling with convincing results. Thank you...Jimmy

      +Signalfan Hey, John! I would like some photos. Mine will be rail served. I have the elevator, storage house and loading bins so trying to incorporate all of that into a scene. Photos would be most helpful, thanks!!

      +Signalfan I wanted to get some NJ International ones, would you recommend them?

    • @Signalfan
      @Signalfan  8 років тому +1

      Yes! The NJ international LED signals look very realistic as well!

    • @WhiteRiverRails
      @WhiteRiverRails 8 років тому +1

      +Signalfan Are they somewhat easy to wire up? I read that NJ supposedly has a circuit system with sensors too.

    I guess having five sets of bells to go with these would be a little to much eh? Nonetheless, its cool to have some action on the layout. Nice work!

    • @Signalfan
      @Signalfan  8 років тому +2

      +TMandN I'm thinking about equipping at least some of the crossings with bells. Will have to get one soon to try. Thanks for the comment!

    The center beam flatcar and MKT covered hopper with a UP emblem are out of place. The Rock Island was gone before UP took over the MKT. The flatcars weren't around until the mid to late 80's.

      Fortunately, this is the Des Moines Valley Railroad set in the 90's about a fictional shortline that "might have" been. They use the "bankruptcy blue" ROCK paint scheme in looks only. Thanks for watching!

  • @TheCentralTexasRailfan

    Nice crossings! Maybe bells on them next?

    • @Signalfan
      @Signalfan  6 років тому +2

      The bells on all crossing were installed a couple of months after this video was shot. You can hear them in my update videos after March 2016 or so. Thanks for your comment!
