Model railroad crossing gates

Crossing gates model railroad on my HO scale layout

[@ntekniklaus3710]

10 years later and i still watch this...

[@ImmortalTimm19]

NTekNiklaus lol same

[@hemipaterson2486]

10 years later and this is still the best mechanism out there.

[@rickscott5290]

You’re not alone. Watching in February 2019.

[@savagedude9689]

11

[@victorstrains]

12 for me!

[@PhilTronics1]

These are the most realistic signals ive seen on youtube.. the gates have the right speed going up and down! Great video

[@mgr_video_productions]

Nice! I remember watching this as a kid.

[@disarray6856]

this was the first video I ever watched on youtube, so glad I found it again. Watched it at the age of 7 and now I’m about to graduate high school. Crazy to think about.

[@LtGiant]

Very Cool Railroad Crossings & Layout!!!

[@nonexistentialcrisis]

Very nostalgic watching during this quaratine.

[@sphauler]

Wow !! Great looking gates and incredible realism. I think the timing is perfect! Thanks for sharring.

[@TourDriverSean]

I saw the title, and thumbnail. I thought, "there's no way that's a model, looks too real." that's awesome. Nice work

[@cpguy29]

Thanks for the great comments. The gates are made by NJ International, the controller is by Grade crossing Pro and the bell sound unit is by ITT.Gates are controlled by Tortoises by I recommend getting a Switch Master switch machine.

[@Johnnymkttrains]

Fantastic! Every grade crossing IC with Gates, the gates always go up and down too fast. Yours doesn't. This is exactly how I want mine to operate when I get them installed. Did you use servos?

[@austinstitzel]

This is so cool!

[@dennisb-trains23]

Pretty cool. At least yours work correctly. Nice.

[@ricardoarvizu2693]

1:08 GTA like the game!

[@ballparkfrank10]

nice job! those look real and the train was great.

[@Austin765]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I love the trains and some of these days, I will be setting my massive collection in the basement. Now I have to get me one of those signal crossings, have not seen any around on e-bay. Austin.

[@jon1111111122222222]

nice CEFX unit you got there, i see those thing a fair bit up in canada

[@carlosmembreno7932]

I'm going to have that toy railroad crossing today

[@DinoCantBeSerious]

I remember watching this I watch this 3 years ago

[@crazykong1967]

Very nice!

[@ApproachDiverging013]

It looks like the signals are NJ International and the sound/detection unit is from Logic Rail. Great vid!

[@chuckchristian2059]

That was awesome I want to do something like that when I get my train started

[@cpguy29]

Thanks for the great comments. The gates are made by NJ International, the controller is by Grade crossing Pro and the bell sound unit is by ITT.Gates are controlled by Tortoises by I recommend getting a Switch Master switch machine. All these are available from Jim's Model Trains on Ebay.

[@BigAlFPV17]

That is awesome!!! Got to get me a set of those. 5*****

[@justkiddin08]

very nice good job.

[@JBurk2322]

wow very awesome, looks very real great job!

[@unionpacifictrain]

nice crossing signals

[@sithlord1626]

awesome vid....love the gates and the train was equally awesome as well, im installing mine on my layout soon and will have a video up to show them...when i do i'd like u to see them

[@Trainsk8]

thats awesome, it would be perfect if you had a sound equipped loco

[@cpguy29]

just a Tortoise under the benchwork. 0.015 wire attached directly to switch machine. I recommend getting a SwitchMaster switch machine ( more torque)

[@cpguy29]

@Silver1Sprg -Each gate has its own Tortiose. The voltage to them is reduced by the gate controller to get the slow speed action. Only problem is you lose your torque and the gates don;t always go down smoothly. Switchmaster will have higher torque. Jeff

[@keatrobot]

awesome signals!

[@Mrcharles.]

ive heard this before at the museum of science and industry in chicago

[@QuebecCentral]

wow ! nice !!

[@prorobo]

Fantastic! What make of signals/gates are those?

[@ni3535ni]

It's of the goοdest level crossing models

[@scott4152]

Well done! Put some sound in them units blast the horn and you got made!

[@RichardRomanowski]

Very nice, well done, bravissimo, das ist gut, pretty fricking good.

[@trainman1986]

Very realistic and cool, I seen some of these at my local hobby shop, one question does the gate motor come seperate? I assume you also have to buy the detection circuitry as well.

[@zoeylilcuds]

cool video!!! mind if I ask what scale the train is?

[@myrealghostbusters]

sweet video.

[@Silver1Sprg]

@cpguy29 Ok, that makes sense.... thanks Jeff for the tip. I'll try it !!!!

[@chevelle396guy]

Im also intrested in who makes those gates/signals.

[@miketlow]

Cool...what linkages did you use?

[@biketrainman7]

very nice. felt like i was actuialy railfanning :) any how to vids of installing these crossing gates? also wiring it up step by step? i realy need the help. diagrams dont help me at all. i dont have the knowledge

[@Silver1Sprg]

Do you use one Tortoise machine per gate, or does one machine control both gates? Also, why do you recommend the Switch Master switch machine? I'm not familiar with that one... just wondering, cause I plan on doing the same with my own crossing gates... Thanks! Rick

[@TWphoenix24]

are those tomar crossing gates? omg gotta have em

[@gregpavitt6867]

nice Railway Gates but missing a few things lights on the gates itself and no DCC Engine train whistle sounds approaching Crossing

[@mitchellrobless960]

CAN YOU DO SOME TRAIN VIDEOS

[@cpguy29]

@thetrainman407 They are Athearn Genesis hoppers

[@WAYNE1980AA]

nice.

[@nicholascrump831]

What brand are those??

[@cpguy29]

NJ International

[@southern4501isawesom]

what kinda set is this ? id like to get one for my layout

[@enessevimlikurt5633]

that was long and i love the car,road and the crossing do you have a big layout?

[@disneyfan81]

Was the graffiti on one of the last boxcars already on it when you, or whoever owns the set, bought it?

[@chicagoandnorthwesterngene2470]

Spend all that money but the locomotives have no sound? Signals are worthless if there is no horn to go with them!

[@Mylifeisbrawlstar]

2024 anyone? 😢 😢

[@Cakes122]

Me :3

[@arlingtontrains7]

badass!!:D

[@unionpacifictrain]

i think there nji HO Crossing Gate Signals w/4 LEDs

[@TheOutdoorsWithJohnny]

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gabrielfigueroa788]

Is that the nj internatinal crossing gates!

[@WAYNE1980AA]

they are.

[@ac124278]

are those signals from NJ International

[@aircraftsandtrains2309]

Rail ASMR LOL

[@EWLR89]

hay! I got that MP boxcar (it's the secnd car).

[@carpetime]

well done but I didn't hear a horn

[@chuckchristian2059]

The lights are suppose to turn off when the gate is up

[@apronchaperon]

Not all the time.

[@cpguy29]

the bell sound volume can be turned up to the point where it becomes anoying. Had it turned down when I filmed video.

[@remikrl8080]

Where can i get one of these as the site is frozen?

[@coolbreez78]

does it know wen its coming

[@enessevimlikurt8984]

is the crossing model?

[@TheTrainChasingPoet1999]

who'd you buy those gates from?

[@moutiandewpresents1712]

Noah whitehouse $4.99

[@psychopath234]

put this crossing in a layout or something

[@osjcag]

Well you'r'e right then :P

[@miketlow]

Ok...

[@jrkin]

they should be more realistic and tag the freight

[@thetrainman407]

Two - not to.

[@mab102599]

@ccolimon I did not see any graffiti

[@austinstitzel]

I'm gonna guess that you are a Capricorn

[@osjcag]

Well, maybe I've seen others then you :P

[@cpguy29]

unfortunately not.

[@ccolimon]

How sad that you have to paint the model cars with grafitti !

[@cheree115]

S

[@rubber20021]

The swing arms do not illuminate.... oh well overpriced... quite simple for LEDS!

[@DinoCantBeSerious]

12 years good times Ive been watching this for 6 years

[@prorobo]

Awesome! Love the realistic speed action of the gates as well!

[@zcg3]

I was waiting for the caboose...

[@STL-Railfan]

I love NJ International signals. I previously had Tomar and then switched to NJ. NJ signals look better and actually come pre-wired with resistors already attached! I had so many issues with Tomar with keeping the wires connected and making sure I had the correct resistors. Plus, Tomar's signals are bigger than scale whereas NJ actually looks more like the real thing and at correct scale.

[@MrNesha2240]

Mike K THE VID IS SO OLD

[@milesjones6851]

CP Rail Freight Train

[@pawfan]

Very smooth operation. Very realistic motion...Good work!

[@thetrainman407]

Where did you get those Farmland 3 bay hoppers? Are those Athearn models? The farmland plant here in Albert Lea MN burned down about 10 years ago, and I have always wanted a farmland car or to as kind of a "Memento" to the plant.

[@chuckchristian2059]

What scale is that

[@TheCanadianRS]

can you send me a name and description of the flasher system for the lights? cause I have teh EXACT same ones(crossing lights)

[@ccolimon]

The gate action is so smooth and realistic ! Super !!

[@MrRaymondyates]

How's your very nice games that came down so real it was all the technology why didn't they make those little red lights on the bar flash have it it really gave me a happy day feeling but nice I like it Deli Delicious my friend

[@Targetsignal2]

Very nice impressive. Now add some cantilevers and it will really look spiffy

[@miketlow]

Can the lights be ajusted to stay on until the gates go all the way up??

[@gregtrain1]

the bell sound effects are pretty faint. Otherwise great signals!

[@EDJK_]

dang i live in palmdale ca and the gates out here just comes down fast but some don't!!!!who cares lol but thats sick tho i need to get that with my set

[@miketlow]

Also how did you mount the switch machine??

[@osjcag]

They are even too fast! Have you never seen those gates in real? This is so fantastic!!

[@EIC89]

kurwa this kurwa pociąg was kurwa so long kurwa :O awsome kurwa!
