On the Layout: Crossing Protection

 There's been a Logic Rail System Fusee Pro kit waiting to be installed for some time now.  When a button is pushed on the fascia, the fusee will prototypically ignite at the crossing leading the Cascade Paper facility in Vaughan.  It'll stay on for a few minutes and then flicker out (the amount of time can be adjusted).

The location of this scene was going to be a challenge to get power to.  I had ordered a 12-volt adapter when I ordered the fusee kit, but I came across Iowa Scale Engineering's DCC Power Adaptor.  It takes DCC power and uses it to power accessories on a layout.  

Installation consisted for running two wires from the DCC track bus to the Logic Rail board, then connected the fusee wires to the other side of the board along with the push button, and it was working in minutes.  It was surprisingly simple!
