Märklin railroad crossing - Let's build a model railroad - Ep. 04

So, I promised that we will build a model train from scratch here in the next episodes. I have a ICE2 starter set here, and before we really go into the Landscaping, I thought to myself: we will build ourselves a railroad crossing together many users want to have such a railroad grade crossing on their railroad system. Märklin sells such a fully automatic railroad crossing from the start up series. We will set the Märklin Railroad crossing in this video: www.maerklin.d...

Please: do you place the 2nd short track after the crossing or behind it?

[@waikwokchoong7528]

What is the model number for the crossing?

[@katjavandevelde4517]

74924

[@NicolaasWillemen]

=can you make a version of this crossing that can be controlled by cs3 only. So with a decoder in it ? Or can i adapt this, my layout tis not big enough to get it working correct with contact rails. And on both sides there are turnouts.

[@paulbayne774]

Is it the same process for cutting the track on Z scale?

[@carstenmoller2248]

No, because Z track is 2 rails, not 3 rail like Märklin

[@JimPerkins-md2qx]

I have a lot of M Track. I'm starting a layout using a starter Digital Set. Can I still us my M track?

[@thetrainloverdk]

Yes you can
