Description

An accessory rather than a train

This is not a locomotive but an add-on: a road crossing for the 12V train system LEGO® sold in the early eighties. Released in 1983, it was meant to make a layout feel busier and more realistic. At 194 pieces it is small, yet it gives an existing track plan a scene where road and rail meet. Anyone building a layout from that era will find it a neat detail that ties the track to its surroundings.

What “remote controlled” suggests

The name tells you the crossing was not operated by hand but could be controlled from a distance, a popular idea in 12V sets because the whole system ran on electricity anyway. How the mechanism is put together is something the parts list answers: it shows every element, from plain bricks to special pieces. With 53 different part types among 194 pieces, the mix is fairly varied for a set of this size and age.

Light grey, red, black and white

Light grey is the main colour, red adds accents, and black and white round things off. Those shades suit road and rail work and sit comfortably in a classic railway landscape. One minifigure is included and can stand at the crossing or watch the traffic. For fans of vintage train sets this model is mostly interesting as a supporting piece rather than the centrepiece of a collection, and that modest role is exactly what makes it appealing.

Getting more from the parts

The full parts list is further down the page. If you own the set, or just some of its bricks, the “What can I build?” tool can suggest other models that work with them and the rest of your collection. The list is also handy for checking a second-hand set for completeness: you see straight away which pieces are missing and which colour to look for when you hunt for replacements.
