Z Stuff for Trains DZ1010 crossing gates

C CachowOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

What's the deal with Z Stuff crossing gates. I have one pair operating just fine with two tracks side by side. The other pair not so much. I've called Dennis Zander and went through the problem and after much conversation and tinkering he suggested I send them pack for a new set of two. Also the wires beneath the base of each gate have very poor connections and have fallen off and had to be re-soldered. It seems that every I called that sells this product is out of stock including Z Stuff Express and they have no idea as to when they will receive shipment.

Is anyone else having similar issues?

What is a better alternative to the Z Stuff?

Your input would much appreciated.

Cachow, sorry to hear that you're having that issue. I've purchased a number of items from them directly with no issues. I did purchase a Z-Stuff signal bridge from Ross Custom Switches which I sent back to Z-Stuff to be fixed....and it was fixed with quick turnaround. Dennis Zander was great to deal with....

I've never had any issues with wires that needed to be resoldered.

I'm not an electronics guy, but their wiring diagrams and instructions make it easy to hook their accessories up, and I've found that they do work fine. 

They've made it real simple for me, so I've never had to look at another supplier of these types of products. Maybe they obtain some components for their pieces from China, so it's entirely possible that their supply chain has been impacted/delayed by the virus.

Hang in there and good luck!
