Crossing gate coming down far too late. That gate should be in the fully down position before the train ever gets to the crossing. Are there additional sensors that can be placed further back to trip the crossing signal in advance to have the gate go completely down before the train gets there? As well as an additional sensor after the crossing that will work in conjunction with the sensor built into the crossing signal to hold the signal on a little further after the train has fully cleared the crossing? Just isn't working to an actual prototypical crossing signal from my viewpoint.

Of Course! We could not place the sensor any further away in either direction due to track and other obstacles in the way. We were a guest at another layout - as stated in the comments section. This was a temporary setup so that was all we could do. The point was to show the moving gate - you could place sensor 500' away if you wanted.

@@ModelTrainTechnology Thank you. Glad to hear that. I've looked at your site but sometimes I'm not sure about the sensor setup. So before I would invest in signals for my indoor layout, which I hope to be starting on sometime after Christmas, I just want to be certain what I'm planning for signals for my layout will function as I would expect, and not end up with something that wasn't as reliable or expandadable like the crossing signals/gates I bought many years ago. Those were a pain to get working the way I wanted, and even then, the sensors were magnetic reed switches that many times proved to be unreliable. I like what I see of your signals, just wanted to be sure I could set them up with additional sensors, as your sensor system seems to be far more reliable than those old magnetic reed switches I used. Thank you again for the quick reply on this.
