Bridge Checkpoint
Let's build a super cool border crossing for all your toy cars right on a metal rail! They'll have to show their IDs to get through.
Do the Stick Test
Try one tile on a rail first. Some clothes horses are secretly magnetic. Some are just pretending.
Safety: Build low, avoid folding joints, and make sure the clothes horse is stable.

If it falls off
Try to use fewer tiles, make your gate lower, or move it to a stronger part of the metal frame.
Make it easier
Just build the gate with two squares and add one triangle as the arm.
Make it bigger
Build a second gate for cars going the other way, or make a taller watch tower next to it.
Chaos upgrade
Add a spinning sign that says 'Do Not Press' and watch what happens when they do!
