Description I have for you another picture of a railroad crossing with Model Power style railroad crossing signals just like before . Only on this crossing, I have crossing gates put in place along with the signals, and the gates are black and white striped, an idea that came from these two real live HO Scale Model Power signals with HO scale Bachmann crossing gates:

See also willm3luvtrains.deviantart.com… Two photos I put together of Model Power Signals and Bachmann crossing gates.

The crossbucks are mellow yellow (okay I'm making up the "mellow" part) just like on real Model Power signals. In addition, they have black STOP ON RED SIGNAL signs with white lettering. What I also added that the real MDP signals don't have are physical bells, which are mechanical. There should also be 2 TRACKS signs on these signals since there are two tracks at this crossing, but I decided to leave them off for now but maybe later on I'll add 2 TRACKS signs to this crossing, it's only fair for the drivers so they know how many tracks they're crossing and how many trains can be crossing at this crossing.

I also decided to make the crossing gate posts different, more of a classic type kind of like used on manual crossing gates, and the Bachmann crossing gates are sort of like this too but my gate posts are different. I would have made the posts black but I didn't want them mixing with the signals so I made them dark gray instead. And the gates don't have lights on them in this picture, just the signals. But I do have a picture of the gates with lights on them as you can see through this link: 

This is just a non-animated version of this crossing, I do have an animated version, which you can see through this link:
