Lionel Billups Crossing Gate Signal! Epic Skull & Crossbones and "STOP - DEATH - STOP" Signage

In this video we unbox and check out the Billups Crossing Gate, a really unique addition to any O gauge layout from Lionel.
Built in the mid-1930's in Mississippi and used for 3 decades, this design was never duplicated and featured the iconic scull and crossbones as well as "STOP - DEATH - STOP" brightly lit in neon on the sign, plus an air raid siren!
NOTE: to place the activator 5" track piece further down your layout, you need to use insulated track between the Billups Crossing Gate and the activator. Lionel 6-21027 is the activator extender. Otherwise, using normal Fastback in between the activator and gate will cause the signal and siren to constantly activate.
Lionel Item #2329050. 2022 Volume 2 catalog. MSRP of $199.99.
