need railroad crossing this time

[Dominick]

been doing some searches in Google but coming up short
I'm looking for a nice automated rail/street crossing.
DO they even make a crossing that the arms go down by motor
instead of pressure plate?

Check out New Jersey International. You can also find ways to make a motorized switch machine, like a tortoise move the arms.

*Humm*
I'm not seeing motorized ones, I thought they had them...

Hi Josh, just looking at your CN 5414 SD50F. Are the Zebra stripes from decals or did you paint them. If Decals, which set did you use? I would seem I do have a use for a few of them. Now if I can only find the engines again

Willis, they are from Microscale 87-568:

Or N scale, 60-568.

Thanks Josh, I'll be ordering a few of them soon. A couple of CBCNS units just had patch jobs and for some reason I got a couple dash nines off ebay because the price was right. Actually I got them to strip for parts but they turned out to be new locos, be a shame to part them out.

Back to the original question, NJ International does make a ServoMaster activation system that includes optical sensors for the track. I would guess you would use it to control a switch machine or something of that sort to raise and lower the gates.

Thanks sushob all I will need now is just something that will lower the
gates as far as the electronics go I have a design I made up should
work nicely

I just found it, nit NJ International, but... Tomar, they had the one I was thinking of, moving gates to be powered with a turnout motor.
