BrickTrains-Sets

“The Lego 4539 Manual Level Crossing is much similar to the 7834 Level crossing from 1980. This set in my opinon, is the worst looking one thus far in the Lego Train line. Compared to the other sets, it’s gray and bland, the other ones are vibrant with color. The set includes... More 110 pieces, including one minifigure and two lines of track. It would make a good part of any Lego Train Track.”

BrickEconomy Member Review

“This level crossing set is a solid addition for any LEGO train layout, providing essential elements like gates, road signs, and a minifigure. While it could benefit from more details, like a tree or a car, it still serves its purpose well. Although the gates aren't remote-controlled, it's a practical set that can often be found at a good price on eBay.”
