As some of you know the platform and signal box are already completed..........

This project will be based on an actual location, not I may add, down to the last jot as I intend to add an extra siding or two by adding a single slip point into the equasion to improve operating potential and possible extension at a much later date.........

At the signal box end I needed to think about the crossing gates and a working distant signal that in reality was probably a tubular post at the time of this photo. But I have changed to a wooden post.

Crossing gates are a typical GWR figuration from a Sevenscale kit now produced by Springside Models.....

I`ve taken a chance and used the whitemetal posts as supplied to motorize using a servo motor on each gate.....

I won`t connect the cranks up until in position on the diorama....... meanwhile they have been etched primed before spray painting in company colours which will be weathered when in place.....

For the single signal which protected the crossing and was pulled on when the gates were closed to road traffic, I used an old 1960`s CCW kit with extra parts from Scale Signal Supplies and Colin Waite.....

Again all etched primed....can`t stand paint coming off models......

This will also be operated with a `bouncing` servo
