Part
#: BLMA 77 - Modern Grade Crossing - Rubber
Our Modern Rubber Grade Crossings are the first ever produced for N-Scale. We took our time in designing the grade crossings to ensure that not only were the measurements correct, but they looked right when mounted and worked correctly with 99% of the rolling stock available.
Our rubber and concrete grade crossings are made to simulate two-lane highway crossings (expander pack available).
Length: 2.75" (with end plates installed) |
Installation Instructions
To Mount:
1. Carefully remove all pieces from the etched-metal frame with a sharp hobby knife.
2. Before mounting, find the height (often called the Code) of the rail you're using. Code 55 track has a rail height of .055" while Code 80 has a height of .080" for example.
3. These etchings are .010" thick, so if you're using Code 55 rail that is .055" tall, you will need a shim (plastic strip) that is about .040" tall, leaving you with .005" of clearance below the rail head.
4. Mount your shims down the middle of the track and on either side of the ties where you would like your grade crossing to lay. Remove spike heads to aid in laying the shims flat if they are wider than the space between the spike heads.
5. Glue shims in place.
6. Glue the 3 long etchings in place, but, bend the ramps down so they lay just on top of the ties (the ramps are only on one end).
7. Next, you will notice that you have three of the short pieces (ramps) left over. The ramps are left off on one end to allow you to expand your grade crossing to a 4 lane road using our expander pack - BLMA #78
8. If you are not using the expander, simply glue the ramps onto the end of the long etching at the same angle downward as they are on the other end.
To Paint:
1. The ramps on these models are metal and the rest of the crossing is a high-density rubber.
2. Simulate the rubber using thin washes of India ink or thin black paint. (An airbrush works as well.)
3. Because the ramps are to remain their natural metal color, we recommend weathering them (and the whole thing) with dull coat and perhaps a hint of orange or brown chalk dust to represent faint signs of rusting. |

#: BLMA 79 - Modern Grade Crossing - Concrete
Our Modern Rubber Grade Crossings are the first ever produced for N-Scale. We took our time in designing the grade crossings to ensure that not only were the measurements correct, but they looked right when mounted and worked correctly with 99% of the rolling stock available.
Our rubber and concrete grade crossings are made to simulate two-lane highway crossings (expander pack available).
Length: 2.75" (with end plates installed) |
Installation Instructions
To Mount:
1. Remove all pieces from the etched metal frame.
2. At this point, you may decide to paint the part prior to installation, or you might want to install and then paint.
3. Note that on the right side of the etching there are three detached ramp pieces unlike the other (left) end. The detached plates are so our Expander pack (BLMA #80) can fit into place to expand the crossing into a 4-lane version and the ramps can then be attached to the end of the expander.
4. Prior to installing, bend the ramps down on the left end so that if the crossing is the same height as the rail, the bottom of the plates will be at the top of the ties.
5. To install, you will need to place shims under the grade crossing to bring it up to the right height from the top of the ties. We suggest using strips of plastic, though strips of wood or other materials may work as well. Please note that the width of the material will depend on the height (code) of your rail.
6. Once you have the long sections securely glued in place, glue the detached end pieces on the right hand end at the same angle as those on the left. (NOTE: This is the time when you should put the Expander set (BLMA #80) between the end plates and long etchings with end plates attached).
To Paint:
We suggest using thin paint and an airbrush or fine brush to paint the crossing. On the prototype, the narrow border around the large rectangles is metal. The metal border should be painted orange and of course, the concrete should be a light gray (unless heavily weathered). |

4. Also Includes: Two, highly detailed Signal Heads (with room for the addition of LED's), four Concrete Footings and one Electrical Box!
Prototype:
The prototype for our model is based on a common Santa Fe style bridge that is a close relative to the "A" frame design. Constructed during the 1930-40's, these bridges have been a common site along Santa Fe (now BNSF) mainlines for well over a half-century.
The prototype photos posted are of two bridges, both located in Santa Fe Springs, CA, on the BNSF mainline. |

#: BLMA 1020 - Cantilever Signal Bridge
Our Cantilever Signal Bridge model is based on a common Santa Fe/Southern Pacific style seen literally all over the USA. Removed in mid-2006, the prototype was located at the very west end of Fullerton, California, on the BNSF mainline at a spot called "Basta".
Cantilever Signal Bridges have been a part of railroading since the early 1900's. Many early style cantilever bridges are still holding strong in spots all across the country, but slowly, they are being replaced by modern counterparts due to increased safety restrictions by the FRA (and perhaps OSHA) to keep signal maintainers safe while working on these structures. |

#: BLMA 1050 - Searchlight Block Signal - Dual Heads w/Large Base, Platform Ladder - Lighted & Assembled
Prototype Information
Searchlight Signals have long been an icon of American railroading. For over a century, Searchlights have governed miles upon miles of rail lines all over the US. Arguably the most famous signal design - the Union Switch and Signal H-2 - has served class 1 railroads in all corners of the country, and continues to do so today. The prototype for this specific signal is located on the Union Pacific's LA&SL Route that travels between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, among other points. This signal is in use today at the East end of Afton Canyon at a location known as Basin, where it governs entrance into a siding and the block ahead.
Model Information
With the introduction of our popular modern signal line, we went back to the drawing boards to produce the finest Searchlight EVER offered in N Scale. While other companies use a bi-color LED in an oversized head, our all new H2 Searchlights feature a TRI-COLOR, micro-LED - yielding true and vibrant Red, Yellow, and Green aspects! Finally, a TRUE YELLOW! Furthermore, this design simplifies installation. |

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
