Title: Rail Crossing Needed
Post by: eagle37 on April 24, 2008, 07:31:05 PM
Anyone have any suggestion for making a crossing (auto crossing) for
EZ track or where I might find such a thing?

if you are looking for something realistic, blair line makes a precut railroad crossing, it is the wood the goes inside the rails and the outside of the rails, all you have to do is make the road leading to it and away from it.

they make it for 18 and larger radius turns and for straights also.

the bachmann crossing is nice, but if you run two sets of loops, you have to cut and chop the crossing to have clearance.

I have installed Blair crossings in several places on the VT&P - two curved and one angled.  I just painted two more straight.  I highly recommend them for a crossing where a wood crossing is logical.  It's fairly easy to make a concrete crossing yourself.  The tricks are to insure the crossing is just a tad below the rail height and to put a barrier inside to produce a flange groove.
