The grade crossing videos are followed by level crossing design considerations plus, at the bottom of the page, links out to very specific step by step instructions on making an automated model railroad level crossing. What Is In This Pageīecause of the preference for video, we start with a series on layout animation which series contains grade crossing tutorials. In a sense, the choice of gates and lights on a model railroad is scene dependent.ĭue to the many different types, we will necessarily be constrained to discuss only a few in detail while at the same time giving the reader the knowledge necessary to adapt equipment to his region. US, English and European, for example use very different forms of gates. Modelers must especially consider the era and region portrayed by their scene. Automatic Gate Control ConstructionĪctive grade crossing traffic control systems range from:Īny of the foregoing may or may not incorporate a bell.ĭue to the number of significant variables which must be considered, there is no single standard system of active traffic control devices universally applicable to grade crossings. The selection of traffic control devices at a grade crossing is determined by public agencies having jurisdictional responsibility at specific ocations.
