Realistic Crossing Gates with Provisions for Automation
Protect busy steam-era streets with these authentic crossing gates! Commonly used all over North America, the prototypes were pneumatically controlled by a watchman stationed in nearby crossing shanties. In bigger cities, several gates were operated by a watchman, often from an elevated crossing/gateman's tower (sold separately) to give a better view of approaching trains and automobiles.
The models come fully assembled and feature moving parts, so they can be displayed in either the up or down position, or adapted to any drive system to automate their operation. (Drive and detection systems are sold separately.)
