More nice words from our customers:

"Great article on realistic crossing systems in the May issue, but the chart on page 81 is missing two items: MTH scale operating crossing gates with lights (no. 30-11012) and DPDT-1 relay from Scott's Odds-n-Ends. ...."

From Brady - San Antonio, Texas as printed in Classic Toy Trains November issue.
