Walthers SceneMaster Grade Crossing Signal Controller 949-4359 HO Scale Model Railroad - Signals Kit

The Walthers SceneMaster Grade Crossing Signal Controller is a device that allows users to control grade crossing signals on their layout. It can be used with both DC and DCC trains, but it is important to note that the unit is not DCC controlled and will not interact with DCC powered tracks. Installation of the controller is relatively straightforward, although some users have expressed disappointment with the sparse instructions provided. The unit requires an AC power supply, which is not included. Some users have mentioned using an old power pack from their DC layout, while others have used a separate power supply. It is worth noting that the controller may need to be modified to fit certain types of grade crossing signals. Some users have mentioned having to drill holes in the ties of their EZ-Track to accommodate the sensors. The sensitivity adjustment knobs on the unit have been reported to have little effect on the operation of the signals. Overall, reception of the Walthers SceneMaster Grade Crossing Signal Controller has been mixed. Some users have expressed disappointment with the quality and functionality of the device, citing issues such as Constant flashing lights and a useless motion sensor. Others have found the controller to be effective in making the grade crossings work, but have mentioned the lack of compatibility with DCC systems as a drawback.
