On the Layout: Law and Order

I installed an East Coast Circuit's police vehicle in my arrest scene under the Bay St. underpass.  Looks great and adds a little more detail and attention to a scene visitors may pass by if not looking carefully under Union Station's tracks.

On the Layout: Oshawa Grade Crossing

 I use Logic Rail Technologies Grade Crossing Pro/2 to operate all of my grade crossing signals on the layout.  I finally got the last crossing on my layout up and running.  I started this project back in December 2025 and the plan was to use a Grade Crossing Pro/2 and an expander board with the intention of only needing sensor for the two mainline tracks.

After some though I decided it would be more prototypical to move the crossing signal to the other side of the yard tracks and now my two-track crossing turned into a four-track crossing.

I picked up another GCP/2 Expander board when I was at the Springfield Show.  A few weeks ago, I ran all the wiring and got the crossing functioning for all four tracks.

This is the only crossing I used Walthers crossing signals instead of NJ International signals.  The directions supplied with the GCP/2 made it easy to write the signals with the correct resistors and worked right from the start.  The crossbucks and track number signs are from ScaleSigns.  I've since replaced the "2 Tracks" sign with a "4 Tracks" sign.

I'm really happy with the outcome.
