Hallo again.

I spent a couple of hours this afto working up some ( static) crossing gates for Glenfield.

I was intending to use brass and solder, but I couldn't easily source the sq section I needed, so decided to go ahead in plastic, after I found some strips at my local ironmonger-come- model shop.

Drilling the posts proved to be the biggest test, and several broke up as there was so little space on the posts.

In the end I cheated* just a little, but I think the results are pretty close to what I set out to achieve.

I really would have liked to make them open, but maybe next time!

* Only the centre posts were drilled, and the ends of each rail are attached with solvent. The "gap" between the opening end of the gate and the post is painted in, to suggest a gap.

Here is what they should look like, again apologies for the poor scan image:

Here is the scene partly reconstructed, all items temporaily put in place:

Regards,

Chris
