QR LEVEL XING

[netting2010]

EVENING ALL

I have set up a QR level crossing 4 track (2+2) and have road and rail connected. How do I now set up the triggers to make the lights and gates function? ( I am new to this, so please have some pity for me!)

Hi Shane. I'm sorry for the late replay, as I've only just noticed your question.

If the level crossing you're referring to is one of Stryker/Psycho Aussie's QR crossings, then the triggers for the gates and lights/bells should be automatic, assuming you connected the track and roads to the crossing correctly. If connected properly, then they should trigger automatically when a train approaches at a default distance from the crossing (Stryker's WA crossings function in this way).

If they are not functioning then it's possible they haven't been connected correctly. I noticed the WA ones seem to have an issue with double track - the only way I could get them to work is to join two sections of single track to them on each side instead, so it's possible that this might be the issue you're having.

Thanks for this. QRHtrainz is looking at some of the issues I am having as when downloading I have faulty messages. I understand something in the way of a fix is underway. The one that I have been able to download without errors has been connected as follows

all tracks connected in the direction of travel. Roads are bought to the crossing not away from the crossing. Splines set just before and after on each track. Only issue that I can see is that there are platforms on one side which may be the cause. However setting up a UK crossing using the alts system all woks OK.
