Recommendations on Crossing gates?

[dlfrenchmd]

Have progressed in new route to adding crossing gates and flashing crossbucks to the urban streets. Anyone suggest good US type gates and signals?

What era?

Hey Randy:
I am looking late 60's to modern. I'm trying a hybrid T&P that folks could use as a fallen flag from 70's or as modern UP. Not a stickler about this.

You're doing a route for Texas and Pacific? That will be much appreciated. Thank you very much!

Travis Ebner has some good ones that fit the era of the 60's into modern day. I've been using his recently. They are in parts, but once you get used to putting them together, they come out looking good. He has the old style lights with incandescent light bulbs and old mechanical bells, which looks pretty good.

Here is one look at the lights from Travis.



And a video to show some of his other stuff such as the gates and the incandescent lights. These are "8 inch" lights, but to me they look closer to 6. I talked with him awhile back about doing some 4" lights, as that was very common in New England during the 1980's up into today, but we shall see. He is a busy man lately!

Travis does some great work. I use them as well for 1970s to 2010s.

Thanks! I will try them out. And for this "newbie" the "some assembly required" caveat helps me with his track signals, too. I was confused with all the empty poles! Duh!

Regarding the T&P, I have track from Imperial through Odessa to the KMAF airport so far. Works fairly well. Boy, is ironing out some of the stuff tedious!
