5. Function
How these sets work: These railroad grade crossings func-
tion with contact tracks as switches. The railroad grade
crossing is turned on and off by means of the electrically
conductive axles on the locomotives and the cars.
Important: If you use other makes of cars with insulated
wheel sets, this may lead to malfunction of the railroad
grade crossing.
6. Setup
See starting on Page 20
7. Additional Setup Options - For adults only!
The contact area between the track-street piece and the
two contact tracks must be lengthened for prototypical early
lowering of the gates. Any piece of C Track can be used for
this. These pieces of track must first be electrically sepa-
rated at both ends for this purpose. To do this, cut through
the metal connection between the left and right rails on
the underside of the tracks as shown in the illustrations on
Page 24.
The railroad grade crossing can be mounted in place with 4
screws (74990) for a permanent setup.
This railroad grade crossing can be expanded with the
74930 extension set to a 2-track arrangement.
