Working railroad level crossing, half scale, electronic bell

Here is the crossing signal my dad and I put together over the past several months. The lights are tailer lights from the hardware store, the bells were being thrown out (the electronic one did not work) and the gate motor is a car power window unit. It was a lot of fun to put together. I'm showing it at the hobby show this weekend.

Awsome... what all does the box consist of ?.. I just set up a full scale for a client , it would be sweet to have it work

[@TheMNrailfan227]

Level crossing? Looks like an American Railroad Crossing to me.

[@TheMNrailfan227]

Ok, thanks.

[@kyleb06]

Canadian and American crossings are the same (other than the crossbucks), and level crossing is just another term for railroad crossing.

[@TheMNrailfan227]

Yep, I know. Thanks, Kyle.

[@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907]

It does have a Canadian Cross buck tho

[@TheSearleFamily123]

@@kyleb06 Level crossings and railroad crossings are the exact same thing. The British call them “level crossings”, the North Americans call them “railroad crossings”, and the Australians call them “railway crossings”.
