I finished up the crossing at Meredith Drive on my IAIS Grimes Line layout. Meredith is the only grade crossing that features gates on the prototype so I wanted to include all the bells and whistles. The crossing uses Tomar gates and flashers controlled by a Logic Rail Technology Grade Crossing Pro circuit. The gates are powered with a Tortoise switch motor and two Circuitron Remote Signal Activators. An ITT sound module provides the crossing bell.

Wow!

I really like how you have created such great depth with your back drop. This is a fabulous little scene...

Very Nice

Very nice scene. Backdrop blends well. The only part that screams "model" to me is the operation of the gates. Is there some way of smoothing their operation? Perhaps adding mass to the actuating linkage would help. I am nitpicking, sorry.

Tweaks

Not at all, Alan. That's how we get better.

The linkages are hindered on my layout since I use extruded foam as my subroadbed. I placed masonite pads underneath the layout to give the bellcranks something to stick to, but I'm still tweaking them. I'm getting to the "good enough" moment... but I'm not done yet.

Thanks everyone for your support.
