I used to have both 7866 12V Automatic Level Crossing and 7834 Level
Crossing. 7834 is a manual crossing. 7825, however, is automatic. It
operated like many 12V train accesories did - with a two button remote
controlled switch that plugged in to the 12V transformer. One neat
feature was blinking RR Crossing lights. I love 12V train accessories.
I guess that's why I still run the 12V line instead of the new 9V. Just
converted the 3225 to 12V - it's cute.
