Not a product for a railroading enthusiast Apr 22, 2011
By lnhoj
I purchased this product as it was the only one that looked like a RR crossing signal of any worth. Unfortunately it wasn't. There were no installation instructions. It didn't even state whether it was AC or DC. I called the supplier. They were no help. I called the manufacturer. They said they would help. But, they never did. I figured out how to install it by myself.
Firstly, the lights do no alternately flash like railroad signals are supposed to do. Both lights stay on all the time. It comes in a set of two with a switch that lets you alternate having the red lights shine on set one or on set two. Again, they do not alternately blink. They can only be set about 1' apart and the switch to alternate between them has to be within a foot of them. My train set is elevated 7' in the air. Guess what? It can't work up there without a step ladder.
We did, however make it work by purchasing 200' of wire, cutting the switch off from where it was located next to the signals and, then, reconnecting it near the transformer. It works, but it is not worth anything near the price I paid for it. The only reason I kept it was because it would have cost so much to return it.
The main problem with it, regardless of the lack of instructions, blinking, etc., etc, is that it does not begin to operate as the train approaches. Without that, what good is it.?
Don't buy it. It doesn't work like a train signal, and Model Power is useless in customer relations.
