Is yhis a mechanical or electrically operated level crossing without any instructions.. There are two wires attached to it and three rails . . I remember the I had seen instructions of a level crossing on the forum last year, but cannot locate the pamphlet now. I am 70, and not very good with computers I am from India and there are very few Marklin enthusiasts here. Please help. Thanks

I am not able to find out item 7393 and I do not know if this item exists (or maybe it is not a level crossing; other experts in the forum can be more precise...). If correct item number is 7390, it is mechanically operated and should have one yellow cable for the red warning lamp which is lit when the train operates the barriers. I do not know what the second wire is intended for. Cheers Renato

The level crossings 7054 and 7390 appears to be solely manual in operation or rather the weight of the locomotive on a pressure plate opens the boom gates whe the train is on top. 7393 i can't see reference to in my resources but maybe another member knows this set. Also 7192 is an electrically powered set in that the wires connect to sections of track either side of the crossing so that the train approaching can trigger the lowering of the boom gates sooner and therefore more realistically. Also lights etc operate with this model. I'm not sure the one you have with one wire, perhaps it is a manual set but with a light fitted to the crossing or to the operators cabin? Please see scan from an early catalog. Also other forum members here have discussed the instructions for 7192 in this thread: https://www.marklin-user...Instructions-please.aspx Scan here: https://s9.postimg.org/gerd8pknj/image.jpg Cheers, Anton
