@Norton posted:Do you operate this one? I have this plus a post war version. I understand the new ones with the DC motor drive are fragile with the motor burning out is short order. Looks nice though.
I had to add a full wave bridge and capacitor to tame the hum on my post war version. I had it my Christmas layout one year and the buzz was just too much. Now its much more tolerable.

Yes, it is on my basement layout, so he gets a lot of work. I think he has been there about 5 years now. I actually had a perfect Marx gateman there originally. Sadly, I was working on something deeper in the layout, and when I stood up I dragged my hand too low. Broke off the danged gate, and about broke my heart.
