I put up our first christmas layout and was thinking of adding an mth crossing gate/signal with an ITAD but have a couple of questions.
Does the the gate go down regardless of which direction the train is coming from? My layout is a switching loop so train would cross the gate from both directions.
Is there a way to make the gate only operate at the push of a button/switch vs automatic? May be fun for my 3 year old to control it.
Thanks.
