Railway Crossing Set - DIY Kit
Short Product Description
Build a fully functional railway crossing gate and discover how real safety barriers work! Kids assemble the base, pivoting arm, signal lens, and elastic return mechanism to create a working model that lifts and lowers smoothly—just like at real rail crossings.
What’s Inside the Box
-
Pre-cut basil-wood sheets (track base & gate parts)
-
Pivoting gate arm with striped barrier panel
-
PETG signal lens & signage pieces
-
Wooden rods, pegs & base supports
-
Elastic bands for auto-return mechanism
-
Illustrated instruction booklet
How It Works
Kids assemble the crossing frame and attach the pivoting gate.
A simple elastic-reset mechanism allows the gate to return to its upright position after lowering.
The PETG signal lens and included signboard pieces complete the realistic traffic-control setup.
Operate the handle to raise/lower the gate and learn how crossing systems manage road safety.
