 Crossing Gate April 25, 2010
Captain Jack Sparrow (Virginia)
The Crossing gate lowers every time the train goes by but the gates do not stay down until the entire train passes. This is due to the pressure mechanism that lowers the gate when the train is present.I hope over time it will improve itself through use. I did not receive any instructions on this problem.
 Not the best. January 27, 2010
Unhappy Camper (BTR, LA, USA)
Arms bounce up and down the whole time the train is passing. They SHOULD stay down. Not very sturdy, either. Parts keep falling off. Danger of getting lost.
 Nice, but could be better December 26, 2009

In case you're wondering, this crossing's lights are not operational, and there are no sounds of any kind. It simply connects with other E-Z Track rails, and off you go. The gates are lowered when the train passes through and pushes down on the panel between the rails. The system is entirely mechanical, and quite delicate - not for small kids. It doesn't work very well with light trains - engines can actually lose contact with the rails and stop (usually only a problem when going slow), while light cars can get quite easily derailed (esp. if they're last). I would not recommend it for unattended operation, unless you weigh down all the cars. Also, it works better on a smooth surface rather than carpet (slide a sheet of construction paper underneath). Overall, a nice, fun addition to any set. My crossing came in green, not yellow.

I love this product. I've read the negative comments, but I don't see what the deal is. I've owned this product for 5 minutes & already I'm playing with it. It's a lovely addition to my collection which I've recently started. It works best if you run the train at the highest rate of speed. The gates don't work as well if the train is slow. Overall, it's a great, fun, exciting & entertaining product. It's extremly easy to assemble. For the most part this does come in one piece except for 4 small pieces which are nothing to put on. It would be nice if this made a warning sound for when the train approaches, in the process of crossing & for when it has cleared crossing. However besides that, it's still an awesome item to play with.
Nice crossing April 11, 2007

An excelent complement for my boy's track, the only complain is the car weight is light the barriers wont rise much.
