I posted this sometime last year. I got tired of twisting my body under the layout installing crossing gates so I came up with this idea.
Build everything as a separate unit then install it. It just makes the job so much easier.
How they look working.
Very nice and great idea George!
Side question:
- Was the the sound from your decoder, or just a overlaid recording?
Overlaid KB. I was getting my oil changed in Rockland county NY near the CXS line. I took a video of the passing train and doubted the sound on my own video. It worked out perfectly.

George....nice video and crossing gates. One heck of a freight for a home layout as well.
Good idea with the gate mounting plates.

What kind of detectors are you using? What crossing gates and actuators?
