HORNBY DUBLO Two D1 Level Crossing 00 Gauge, Boxed, Good Condition. The D1 Level Crossing was a very popular introduction in November of 1953. The green grass paint is eye catching. The paintwork shows age related marks.
These older level crossings are excellent and extremely durable. To convert to 00 gauge for Hornby/Bachmann etc... a little easy work will produce a great level crossing. First put a strip of balsa wood in the gap. The take a straight piece of track and trim sleeper back with rail cutters, or sharp scissors.
Paint balsa wood grey, add thin glue to green area and sprinkle foliage onto the glue. This simple trick improves the level crossing out of recognition. Paint the sandy coloured area grey and add small size ballast, make sure it does not inhibit the opening of the gates. Alternately just add some glue to the sandy coloured areas and cover with magnesium ballast, this too will look effective. Paint gates white and the centre with fresh red. Glue single track to balsa wood, carefully with painted card add centre crossing board in the centre. End product is a brilliant model of a level crossing. Only suitable for single track not double track, but still brilliant, difficult for children to break it.
Good value, good quality, product as described, pleased with the purchase
This item is, amazingly, 70+ years old so the quality of it could be iffy, but I was very pleased that it was as described & to my mind good value for money
