I was searching the forum and came across another thread discussing problems with running MTH Crossing Gates with two ITADS in order to activate from both directions. I couldn't find a resolution anywhere else on the forum as I had a similar issue I was trying to resolve and came up with a solution using two ZStuff 1075 ITAD's and MTH crossing gates. What you need to do is control the gates with one ITAD and activate that ITAD with the 2nd ITAD. Wire both crossing gates red to 1075 red and blue and the power source, black to black and power source black, white to white, crossing gate yellow to 1075 gray. Crossing gate blue is left unconnected. Next connect the 2nd 1075 red and black to the same power source and connect the 2nd 1075 green to the 1st 1075 yellow. When a train passes the 2nd 1075 it activates the first 1075 which lowers the gates. Not sure if MTH ITAD or Lionel ITAD have similar wiring scheme but you can't seem to find them these days anyway and the Zstuff 1075's are available.

WTG John you were faster
10 minutes late, you need a faster computer.
Thanks for rotating my chicken scratch diagram. I had to replace laptop and haven't figured out new windows yet.
Not the computer, it's the price I pay living in SW Virginia. Their are 3rd world countries that will have DSL before we do. Satellite is our only option and we are coming off the back side of a major snow storm.
Much better than dial up. This area for dial up is still using 33.6 modems on copper line. I laughed when I found that out, told them fax machines were now faster. Offered to give them $10 to go to Best Buy to get faster ones at least V.90.

I feel shortchanged, I only get 58mbit downloads here over fiber...
