7835 is 12V. The track is not compatible since it has plastic outer
rails. To use it, buy a box of straight track (4515?) and rebuild it
using 9V track. Since this crossing is manually operated, you'll be all
set.
Or, buy a new one and sell the 7835. I'd buy it. I'm not "crossing
complete" yet. 146 is very cool, it does not use a baseplate! But I
think 4539 is my favorite. (although in the box picture, the attendant
is gonna get clipped by the train if he doesn't move)
The 7834 level crossing,(if it's automatic, I can't tell) will be much
much harder to convert, because automatic crossings depend on some sort
of sensing of the train, and if that sensing is electronic, it may well
be incompatible with the 9V track.
I'm assuming that 7834 is automatic, because it's not called *MANUAL*
level crossing the way 7835 is. Does anyone know for sure?
Here's the list:

Shop at Home has them. I have not seen them in stores in the US. I want
to say 66 bucks.
Are you in the US? if so, call S@H. If not, get a US friend to get it
for you if you're not somewhere that has it yet.

| So I guess my 7835 has no actual use in my Legocity unless I buy a new set of train that works on this type of rail. Also, how come there's a sign saying 7835 is a 4.5V set on my instruction? I'm really confused in this issue. Larry Pieniazek wrote (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)
