FAQs

What age is the BRIO Magnetic Action Crossing suitable for?

The BRIO Magnetic Action Crossing is recommended for children aged 3 years and up.

Does this product require batteries?

No, the BRIO Magnetic Action Crossing does not require batteries. It operates using the magnetic forces from compatible BRIO trains.

What materials is the crossing made from?

The crossing is crafted from FSC-certified European beech wood and high-quality plastics, adhering to BRIO's safety and quality standards.

Do I need other BRIO toys for this to work?

Yes, to experience the automatic barrier function, you will need compatible BRIO trains with magnetic couplings and BRIO wooden tracks to integrate it into a layout.

How do I clean the Magnetic Action Crossing?

Clean the product with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the wood and plastic components.

Is this compatible with other wooden train brands?

While BRIO products are designed to work with each other, compatibility with other brands' magnetic systems or track gauges is not guaranteed. It is best used within the BRIO World system.

What are the dimensions of the crossing?

The item measures approximately 18.3 cm in length, 11.8 cm in width, and 4.5 cm in height.

Troubleshooting

Barriers do not lower when the train approaches.

Ensure the train has a magnetic coupling and that it is positioned correctly to activate the crossing mechanism. Verify that the crossing is placed directly on the track where the train's magnets will pass over the integrated sensor area.

Barriers do not lift after the train has passed.

Check if the train has fully cleared the magnetic sensor area. Sometimes a slight repositioning of the track or crossing might help ensure a clean pass.

The crossing seems flimsy or unstable on the track.

Ensure the crossing is placed on a level surface and that the surrounding BRIO track pieces are securely connected. The crossing is designed to sit flush with the track.
