Outfit your modern HO scale passive grade crossings with the Lineside Details LD-5131 — a 2-pack pairing a modern RAILROAD CROSSING crossbuck with a STOP sign below. This is the second of the two FRA/MUTCD-approved passive crossing setups: STOP is used where line-of-sight or train speed makes a full halt the safer call. Pair them with our YIELD-crossbuck packs to outfit different crossings prototypically.
About the Signs
Lineside Details signs are laser-cut and pre-assembled on metal posts for crisp detail and easy planting. Sharp red retroreflective-look print, white STOP lettering, and accurate octagonal proportions — these match modern MUTCD specifications. Two complete sign assemblies per pack lets you outfit both sides of a single crossing or two separate scenes.

FAQ
STOP vs YIELD crossbuck — which do I need?
YIELD is the modern default; STOP is used at passive crossings where line-of-sight is limited, train speed is high, or local authorities require a full stop. Both are FRA-approved. Pair STOP crossings near tunnels, curves, vegetation, or industrial spurs.
Are these pre-assembled?
Yes — already mounted on a metal post. Just plant in your scenery.
What era do these fit?
Modern — late 1970s onward, when the current octagonal STOP sign became the federal standard. Works for transition-era through current layouts.
Can I weather them?
Absolutely. The base is matte and accepts standard model paints, washes, and weathering powders.
