Has anyone installed these HO ( 80 - 10001 )   MTH  Grade Crossing signals and gates ?

I am considering these and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

James

mth gates

I have same. They work just fine. However, I would lengthen the feeds so the electric eye sensors are farther from the crossing. The gates are slow moving and even a slow train will reach the crossing before the gates are completely down. I also found the bell to be very loud with no way to soften, until I added self-made baffles. It works as advertised and worth the investment.

Sensor feeds

Watson7,

Thanks for your feedback.   I figured that 4 feet was too short for the track sensor distance, I will have to lengthen them.
