The Lionel 612888 is an O scale #154 Railroad Crossing Flasher. It features a die - cast metal construction for durability. When a train passes by, its red lights flash, adding a realistic touch to your model railroad. The set includes a 153C Contactor. It can also work with an insulated track section (sold separately). The flasher has an O gauge and stands at a height of 9 feet, making it a great addition to your collection.

Using your Lionel Railroad Crossing Flasher is easy. First, set it up on your O gauge track. Make sure the 153C Contactor is properly installed. If you want to use an insulated track section, you'll need to buy it separately and connect it correctly. When a train approaches the crossing, the red lights will start flashing. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they might damage the die - cast metal construction. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting.
