Danger Lionelski, Danger!

Yes indeed!  You don't want your judgement impaired with an accident waiting to happen on that crossing!  Oh the humanity!!

Go Gomez go!

Found out a few years ago that union rules prohibit actors from operating things like trains.  Gomez might have been at the controls, but a union electrician was at the real throttle.  Same for Sheldon with his HO setup, and Red Forman and his O gauge.

Not necessarily, for instance I am not old enough to have watched "The Adams Family" or the "The Munsters/Star Trek" but I started watching those shows when they showed them years later in re-runs and grew to love them.

@Lionelski Seriously speaking, you could set up an electrical circuit that shuts off one track if the other track is being used to prevent a collision. It's very easy to do with 3 rail trains.

@GG1 4877 That was a good one. Very funny!

Yes and no!  I watched the show in syndication as a kid in the 70's and 80's.  Loved that show, especially the episodes with the trains.

I though it was a Lost in Space reference "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!"

Too bad the TOS prevents us from posting an animated gif of Robby the Robot flailing his arms in the air! 

There is a skills challenge that was done for the kid's area at a few TCA conventions over the years where you had two trains on a figure 8 track and the goal was to knock the caboose off the train.  These were obviously not collectible trains ....

I know, Phil - but where's the challenge then? Plus the guys get a kick out of watching me slow one train down and speed up the other for that "near miss" experience.

That's what it's all about.

Just install one of Azatrak's collision avoidance systems and you can imbibe to your heart's content !!

Prevent collisions at model railroad track crossings
