OO gauge double track level crossing

L-165-d-level-crossing-type4a-1

Double track level crossing for OO track, just fit code 100 rail through slots in end, like the tramway /inset track. Requires gates, gear mechanism pack, and control arm. Fit rail before painting, as it tends to be easier. Can be a very tight fit, so suggest running lenth of thinner rail(code 75) through first. Slow and steady is better and safer than rushing it.

When fitting gear wheels, take it slowly, they do fit, and when in place , spin round till nice and smooth running.
 
L-165-d-level-crossing-mechanism-type4-gates

level crossing gates for double track OO crossing. Use with double track level 
crossing base and control gear. Square post might need sanding to fit gear wheel. Test before fitting gear wheel to level crossing. It should be a slightly tight fit.
 
L-165-d-level-crossing-control-stick-type4a-t2-1

control arm for double track OO level crossing. Fits underneath level crossing, on top of baseboard. Operates all 4 gates , together. Ensure middle pin engages with each gear wheel properly. Moving the control arm will move the gates, and the next pin will lock the gates in other position (open or closed).

Best to test out before fitting level crossing down properly, as movement can be very stiff initially, but the 3D printed nylon plastic gets smooth after a short while.

 
L-165-a-control-type4a-gear-x4

control gear wheels for double track OO level crossing. Once detached and cleaned up, 
fit to level crossing pods under base. They are a tight fit, but will eease in. Before 
fitting , though, clean out square hole for gate post, and check to see if gate post 
fits, smoothing down the post till it slides into gear easily.

Once fitted it is difficult to remove gear wheels, but turning rapidly , will smooth 
down edges.
 
 

OO gauge Single track level crossing

L-165-sing-level-crossing-type4a-1

Single track level crossing base for OO. Fit gates, gear wheels and control sticks to enable gates to move one at a time.

Requires single track gates, 2 gear mechanism and 2 control arms pack. Fit rail before painting, as it tends to be easier. Can be a very tight fit, so suggest running length of thinner rail(code 75) through first.Slow and steady is better and safer than rushing it.

When fitting gear wheels, take it slowly, they do fit, and when in place , spin round till nice and smooth running.


 
L-165-single-level-crossing-gate-x2-1a

pair of single gates for OO single track level crossing.

Use with single track level crossing base and control gear. Square post might need sanding to fit gear wheel. Test before fitting gear wheel to level crossing. It should be a slightly tight fit.

 
L-165-single-level-crossing-gate-stick-gears-1a

Gear wheels and control sticks for single track OO level crossing.

Once detached and cleaned up, fit to level crossing pods under base. They are a tight fit, but will ease in. Before fitting , though, clean out square hole for gate post, and check to see if gate post fits, smoothing down the post till it slides into gear easily.

Once fitted it is difficult to remove gear wheels, but turning rapidly , will smooth 
down edges.
 
 

O Gauge Single track Level crossing

L-32-s-level-crossing-type4a-1 



O gauge(32mm) single track level crossing base, fit code 100 rail.

Fit gates, gear wheels and control sticks to enable gates to move one at a time.

Requires single track gates, 2 gear mechanism and 2 control arms pack. Fit rail before painting, as it tends to be easier. Can be a very tight fit, so suggest running length of thinner rail(code 75) through first.

Slow and steady is better and safer than rushing it.

When fitting gear wheels, take it slowly, they do fit, and when in place , spin round till nice and smooth running.


 
L-32-single-level-crossing-gate-x2-1a

pair of single gates for O gauge single track level crossing.

Use with single track level crossing base and control gear. Square post are supplied (might need sanding to fit gear wheel), but square metal tube or rod(2.4mm width) can be used .

Test before fitting gear wheel to level crossing. It should be a slightly tight fit
