Waiting at the Grade Crossing

HO scale model railroad crossing signals with gates as seen on the Moo Crew layout at the Titletown Train Show in Green Bay, WI. The signals are made by NJ International, the train detection and signal logic circuit is from Logic Rail Technologies, the bell circuit is a product of Innovative Train Technology, and the gate motion is supplied by Circuitron Tortoise switch machines.

NJ International.

[hermoid]

you probably had to spend a tone on all those intermountain cars

[moocrew7]

I spent a ton getting the crossing signals operational. Fortunately, another member is the owner of that train.

Is there a 3rd track in the back, by the roadblocks, 'cause I see signals.

[moocrew7]

Yes, there's a branchline that runs in back. This track actually runs down the center of the downtown street on this module.

[CPWindsorsub]

do those branch line crossings work too?

[WAYNE1980AA]

how'd you get that bell sound?

[SouthwestChief]

Nice,

But I noticed some false flashes at 0:37 and 0:42

Wonder what caused them?

[WAYNE1980AA]

nice!

[rcampo0864]

WOW-!!!

Very nice work! I too am working on a animated system with tortoise machines. Can you give any advice on driving the rods on the NJ arms? I have the same pair and can't find a workable solution without ordering the Activator Part 800-8100. Is that what you use? Thanks and great job.
