Lionel O 6-12052 Fastrack Grade Crossing Track with Flashers

Love the realistic sound of the bell.an the lights are awesome .

Excellent!

Easy to install, looks like the real thing. Son loves it. great addition to train set

This hooks up to track power and has a slider switch to control audio output. That's not bad for plug-n-play with modern 18v train sets, but isn't as good with old-fashioned transformer-controlled trains. For that, you need to de-solder or cut the center rail connection (at least this isn't hard to do) and connect that to accessory power. The wire is pretty short and thin-gauge stranded so you don't have a lot of room to work with and it isn't easy to make a safe, reliable connection to a longer wire because the original wire is thin, stranded, and thus fragile and hard to strip. Lionel could do this better, such as with the jumpers they use for aux switch power.

Lionel has come a long way from the over sized flashers they used to have. Made well and easy to assemble. Had a little trouble getting the 1/8 signal connections to engage. Had to remove and re-insert a couple of times. Overall satisfied.
