Cattle Guard and Fence Kit

Has been tested to work on code 100, 70, and 55 track. May require modeler customizing to work on other codes of track. 3ft Fencing included.
Track not included.

Cattle guards are designed to keep livestock contained and safe on designated property. The design consists of a series of parallel bars placed over a road or railroad track, allowing the vehicles or trains to pass freely. The gaps between the bars are wide enough that cattle perceive it as a dangerous obstacle. They instinctively avoid stepping onto the guard because their hooves could slip through or get stuck. This cattle guard is based on a mid-century design, commonly found all-across the Western United States, with some still in use today.
