Who makes some good looking HO Scale Modern Grade Crossing Signal Gates? Im looking for a set of them that could cover a road with 2 lanes in each direction. They dont have to be operational but I would like them to have working LED Flashers...

Any help and links would be greatly appreciated :D
 


Thanks guys for the links, these both look like good leads and ive saved them to come back to them later. Those operational ones look awesome! Watched that video and im impressed, those would be awesome for a layout! The ones I need now though dont need to work, i just want them to flash so its looking like the NJ ones would work just fine for what I need them for right now :D

Thanks again!
 
It seems todays modern crossing gates at many locations have the actual gate assembly as a seperate part of the crossing and not attached to the signals. Look at some of them the next time you see them. I dont think there are any modern seperate gates made currently. I have been looking for some myself.

The signallogic units look like the nicest signals made but the last I heard. They quit making them because of the expense with the manufacturer. But the videos on Youtube from the La Baja club layoutmake me really want some. They werent cheap though, 300 plus from what I hear just for the signals.

I was at the Worlds Greatest Hobby show when it was in town last November and an outfit in Wisconsin had a set of crossing gates they modified and were re-selling. They were either the NJ units or the Tomar gates. But they were modified with micro LED lights on the gates and flashed just like the real thing. They had a diorama setup showing them off and they looked fantastic but also werent cheap. 250-300 dollar range. I can see if I can dig up thier info but I didnt buy anything from them so I dont think I have any info to help.
