*by J***F on November 13, 2024*

My son loved this for his birthday and was great for his ho scale trains

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is not a toy!
*by D***Y on October 15, 2013*

This item is meant to be apart of your train display, not a toy for kids. In reading the other reviews, most of the bad reviews were because this fact was not understood. I love this crossing! It fit perfectly with the EZ tracks, the gates both go all the way down when the train crosses through. Because this is a mechanical setup (not electrical), the gates don't go down until the train is in the roadway, but this does not bother me. My track is black with steel alloy rail, whereas this item is nickel rail. My train doesn't get as good of power over the nickel rail as it does over the steel, but it makes it through the crossing. Also note that you must be using an HO scale engine to make it through this gate crossing because there is a plastic plate down the middle of the track that the train goes over (this plate is what closes the gates). If your train is too light (like the thomas sets) it will get stuck. Something I didn't think of when i bought this also related to this plastic plate. I knew buying this that it wasn't a toy, but i thought my son would have fun having his hot wheels cross over the track using this gate crossing. Well, when you "drive" your hot wheel over the track, it pushes down on the plate and closes the gates! hahaha I should have known better, but now my son has fun launching the cars through the crossing before the gates can go down :). Overall we love this gate crossing, but it's not perfect.
