About 1990 at my module “Naumburg” were the first operating gates. It was very amusing to look at visitors.  They recognized the gates opening and you could count to three, their heads went under the module – or they didn’t look carefully.
The Model Railroader staff had made an excellent drawing in project illustrated, May 2006, p. 122.

Here's the latest version. You find more at my http://www.westportterminal.de/moving_gates.html site.

Another nicely done project

Great job, Wolfgang.  I certainly agree with the other Dave - it's always fun to see what you're doing.

... and you make it look so easy

My profession is that of a teacher, math and physics. 

 

Well, it's not difficult. You can do it, just start.

And with terminal strips adjustment is very easy. With my first gates I've solderd the wires. To get the proper movement was not so easy.  You find at my website a lot more pictures and hints.
