 3 carded new original stock, NOS Road & Rail crossings. I've had a photo with 9 of my crossings but thought I had a second pink carded one. Found it in another box. I have 10... 7 nice loose and 3 carded.

So Walt, will all of the carded crossings be opened up for your layout? That's a lot of crossings!

 Cheeze, I will use at least 6 of my non carded crossings all in one spot. The best pic I could get tonight makes the two pictured look dirty, but they're not. Shown here are two placed side by side with removal of one train track prop on the side. These 2 had the prop missing already which is a common site. So there will be 3 rows of 2 crossing like in photo 
I will display the blister card crossings away from the layout somewhere...and use one if a tab breaks on one.

Nice! These darn things sell usually for over 20, or the starting price is around that. New ones are priced up there, too. I've got a few, I think I have 3 tyco on non-ID'ed plain cardboard stock I got off Ebay. I'd like to get a road going as well on some future layout. All I need is ... space. sigh.

| I know what you mean on having the space, Jerry... After waiting several years for a large space to work with, it has now come true! Spending time now planning on the design of my 8X20 layout structure... The perfect height, five 4X8 tables bolted together or ?? Solid but not bulky with some room for storage under the layout off the floor...

DAMN! I'd love to be able to make the roads, "run" along with the trains but crap. you'd need an "operator" not only to run trains with, but traffic control too!

It was a lot of fun John, back in the early 70s to set the trains to run at one speed then a friend and I would run the slot cars. Tore up a bunch of stuff with the train crossings and car intersections. That was on a much smaller layout.
NOW, on. Large layout, with many buildings, light poles, etc I don't want to wipe out these pieces with a high speed crash!
