Our Modern Concrete Grade Crossings are the first ever produced for Z Scale!  Designed after an extremely common prototype, these crossings feature easy installation and prototypical dimensions.  As far as we know, these will work with ALL Z Scale rolling stock. Our rubber and concrete grade crossings are long enough to simulate two-lane highway crossings. Now Shipping! Scale:  Z Scale   Catalog:  8111   Price:  $5.00 Quantity:  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 .006" thick, so if you're using Code 55 rail that is .055" tall, you will need a shim (plastic strip) that is about .044" 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).  On the opposite end, glue the ramps in place at the same angle as the opposite side. 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 or a dark gray and of course, the concrete should be a light gray (unless heavily weathered).
