Model Railroad Article #8: The Railroad Crossings

This article is all about the railroad crossings of the Danville County Railroad Layout, let's go over 3 crossings along the mainline.

This first crossing is right at the roundhouse where you have the railroad crossing x, and the crossing lights. This crossing does not have the crossing arms but is an effective crossing.

The 2nd crossing is close to the passenger station. This crossing has more to it than the first one, the flashing lights and the crossing x, plus smaller flashing lights on the top. These crossings are high quality with the lights they have and the sound in them as well. These crossings are very important to the Danville County Railroad.
