BachmannTrains E-Z TRACK CROSSING GATE - HO Scale Medium

Works as described. Easy to put together, functions perfectly, excellent method to make the arms drop, no electricity required.

My son loved this for his birthday and was great for his ho scale trains

item arrived as described. well packaged. quick ship.

When train crossing over only one arm go all the way down and sates down. The either side goes half way down and bouncing up and down .

For the money, and for our layout it works. Would liked to have spent a little more for lighted warning lights, but couldn't. It lacks realism, approach ramps do not fit well, component with signs and lights had to finally be glued to their base, kept falling off. Gate activation is very touchy, but with a little trimming and shimming it works now. May upgrade in future, works for now.

I was pleased I got what I ordered and it wasn’t broken it was exactly what it was advertised as

Just got this and 1 gate fell off when I was examining it. Be careful if this happens because there is a tiny metal plate on the very inside back of the gate that falls out and you need this to keep the gates up when not in use.When running a weighted flatbed car by hand over the section, the first gate doesn't go down until the front edge of the car gets almost to the gate.The second gate doesn't go down until the car is almost completely across the road section.Both gates should go down at the same time at least 3 or 4 inches before getting to the first gate and the gates shouldn't go back up until the last car is 3 or 4 inches pass the road section.I'll have to try and configure a spring loaded but light-weight board that goes completely across this piece and extends 3 or 4 inches on each side to activate the gates before the engine gets to the crossing and well after the last car passes the gates. This should also keep the gates from bobbing up and down when the train is crossing.Also, I wanted to use 2 for a double trach crossing so when I get a second gate system, I'll have to cut both inside road pieces so they will match up to look like a double track crossing, which also means removing the 2 inside crossing gates.I also notice since I'm using Atlas code-83 tracks, there is a tiny height difference between this gate rails and the 2 pieces of Atlas code-83 rails connected on each side so I'll have to file these down evenly.Odd that something that is wandted and needed for a nice layout is so cheaply and badly designed!I would gladly pay more for an extremely functional double track/double gate crossing!

This is the favorite part of my grandson's train set. Moving parts are very delicate though. Bought this item to go with the Bachmann Santa Fe HO train with E-Z tract. Only wish someone would have told me that I needed to purchase two straight pieces of E-Z track to attach to the set. My grandson couldn't use it until I bought those pieces. According to a 7 year old, "It's the best part of the track!" Thumbs up!
