I recently acquired a lionel 252 postwar crossing gate its light terns on but the arm wont go down until the engine he activated it 3 times. Does anyone have any idea what's rong with it
Coil Plastic? Picture plz.How do u fix if coil plastic is causing plunger to stick?
Huh, I have a crossing gate with a busted cam. But never could identify which one. Apparently there are two different cams and I could never identify which cam was the proper replacement part. It's definitely pre modern era as I know the source of the gate.The core of the solenoid is plastic. If the coil overheats, it will expand, jamming the plunger. If that happens, remove the plunger and get a twist drill the size of the plunger and ''drill out" by hand the coil so the plunger is free to slide again.
