American double-track railroad level crossing - main
I built this model three years ago to go on my model rail layout. I still haven't built it IRL yet, but I did upgrade it to feature some smaller gate arms, and four of them instead of two. This allows for a more realistic look, and makes the gates into a much more believable size instead of being taller than the train when in the raised position. The model uses ideas brought to my attention by Eurobricks user Lightningtiger and his level crossing: www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Lightningtiger/AussieCountryTo... The use of frying pans as warning light poles intrigued me, and I re-used the idea on my model.
I also managed to squeeze two train signals onto the model, which are inspired by the signal in set 7938. The yellow 1 x 1 tiles are for the two track warning sign, and are printed in this style: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3070bp02#T=C
