This highly requested tutorial covers the basics of setting up an ATLS Grade Crossing system.
ATLS is a flexible system that allows you to customize your grade crossings, making them as simple or complex as needed. In its most basic form, initial set up is easier then expected.

I use the 4 trigger system for crossings, because if you do two and you put one really far away, the crossing will stay active until the lest car of the train hits that trigger. The 4 trigger system allows you to put two triggers on either side of the crossing, with the purpose of turning the crossing off, and two on either side that are far apart, for turning it on. Its useful for running trains in two directions.

@TrainsinToronto 7 лет назад

I did a horrible job describing that sorry

@ApproachMedium 7 лет назад

I've heard of this but haven't tried it out for myself. I'll have to give it a look and maybe do a follow up tutorial.

@TrainsinToronto 7 лет назад

okay!

@TrainsinToronto 7 лет назад

theres a youtube video on it.

@mizzndizz8163 7 лет назад

yes! 4 trigger system is much better!! Pretty easy to do too.

@coptrn7861 7 лет назад

Glad to see a video explaining this. I had to learn through trial and error. It would be nice to see the 4 trigger set up as well. Good job though.

@ApproachMedium 7 лет назад

Yeah, the more comments I read the more I think a follow up video utilizing the 4 trigger technique might be in order.

New to trainz, especially the surveyor module. This is a little confusing, but I am a retired electrician of 41yrs, so maybe I can figure it out! Really enjoyed your presentation. Need all the help I can get. Just started my route. From watching a couple of your videos, I would say you have been at it a while! Although incomplete as you stated, I thought they were quite nice! Once again, thanks for the info!

@ApproachMedium 7 лет назад

You're very welcome. Best luck building your route! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. I have ideas of other tutorial videos, I just haven't had the time to film them.

@TrevlynTheTrainiac 3 года назад

When I try to increase the height of the road after attaching the traffic stopper, the road will change height by full numbers and not decimals. This is leaving the road above the crossing.

@rebooted.jupiter_ 2 года назад

hold the control key when you do it

@DV_Graph1cs 4 года назад

You're probably not going to respond to this comment but oh well. I'm dealing with an issue, I have a crossing and its angled to the track, what i mean by that is that the intersection with the road and the track isn't a perfect cross. The road is diagonal so when I place the traffic stopper, the cars drive up too close to the track.

@ApproachMedium 4 года назад

There are traffic stoppers with larger stopping spans you can use. If you have my DBEV route you can look and see how I used them there.

@omarc3695 4 года назад

When I attach the road to the ATLS traffic stopper the road keeps going over the tracks instead like yours when you connect the road to the traffic stopper it actually goes with the track like what I did what you did the road with the traffic stopper connected together and it keeps going on top of the track and its at height you put it on

@markattebery3375 7 лет назад

Hey AM, should the speed of the train, affect the distance of the triggers to the actual grade crossing? Your demo was great, but that engine, was basically crawling through the crossing intersection ! Thanks, Mark

@FuryTomic 7 лет назад

Yes it does. Depending on your speed limit you have setup on your route, and the area you plan on setting up the crossings at, I would put it out a little further away. Usually for me, I have it farther out at a specific point (after a lot of tests and placing markers) on my main routes. As for my spur lines with speeds around 20mph, I usually place it closer. Hope this helps!

@ApproachMedium 7 лет назад

Exactly what Fury said. I'm not sure if there's a particular formula for figuring it out other then trial and error but basically the faster the speedlimit the further away you'll want your triggers. Just like in real life, you'll want ample time for the traffic to stop and the gates to go down before the train arrives.

@TrainmanAndy 7 лет назад

Question can multiple car's go by and it still stay's down because it look's like it's only doing the locomotive.

@mikestrainz5208 7 лет назад

Great explanation! I guess the main advantage of the ATLS crossing vs the automatic crossings (the built in ones that don't require any setup) is that they look better and have better detail..I'll probably start updating my crossings to the JR crossbucks. It's just like the signals..first I just used the basic ones, now I've been updating to the JR searchlight ones. Thanks for all the videos..I've gotten some great ideas and inspiration from your channel..check some of my videos sometime if you get the chance

@ApproachMedium 7 лет назад

Exactly! The advantage of using ATLS crossings are higher detailed crossbucks as well as greater flexibility regarding when the signals are triggered. You can have the engine creep right up to the crossing before it's triggered or have it go off well in advanced. Glad my videos have been an inspiration for you :-)
