I would like to add some working signals to my HO gauge dc layout. Has anyone used Logic Rails signal or block animators ? If so, do they work well and are they fairly simple to install ? Thanks for any replies. All are greatly appreciated. Joe Voisin Sr
You’re in luck! I have them and I love them.
I even built a webpage showing how I used them:

At the bottom are 2 YouTube links for videos of how they work.
You’ll find LogicRail Tech is a great company; very quick, friendly service. Don’t worry, I’m not affiliated with them!
I use the Logic Rail Technologies Grade Crossing Pro and have had very good results with it. Their circuit board can control both crossing signals and crossing gates, and they can be used in tandem if you have a double track road crossing. I use across-the-track IR emitters and detectors to trigger the system so the amount of overhead lighting, or lack thereof, doesn’t matter.
