I would appreciate if someone could please tell me whether the Marklin 7390 (Level Crossing) will work with Marklin C Track.
Thanks....Shelton

Hi Shelton, it will work fine, but you will need two x 24951 Transition sections to join the C track to it.

If you already have the 7390 crossing then of course go ahead but being a purely mechanical crossing it relies on the weight of the train to press down on the outer rails and close the barrier arms. If this happens when the Preiserlings are crossing, it gives them a headache when the barrier arm crashes down on their head and does not make for good Railway Company PR.

Fine for a child's layout, and sometimes even for a display layout but if you are looking for something a little more realistic then you probably want the one that is electrically activated by the train as it approaches.

More expensive of course so that's up to you but the 7390 will work just fine in any event.

Hope this helps

Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks alot for the clarification. I was about to buy one but thought I would ask before I make expensive mistakes like I have done in the past.
I have decided to refrain from buying one after hearing from you. Again, I thank you very much for the same.
Kind regards..... Shelton
