Animated European Prototype Crossing

[Trainman2]

I've seen this accessory in a couple of YouTube videos, but I can't seem to find one for sale.

It's a grade crossing which simulates hand-cranked gates, and it has a crossing keeper figure that moves as the gates go up and down, making it look like he's really cranking the gates.

Does anybody know who made this piece, and where I could get one?

Thanks

Sounds like the sort of thing that Lionel may make if that helps.

I believe this is what you are looking for. I had this on my railway a long time ago.

I would like to add that while these accessories are certainly ingenious, they will suffer from continuous use outdoors.

POLA make this set, its part of a combination of other pieces. the only place I know is a company in England
called top slots and trains Fleet wood Blackpool lancashire . Good luck from Paul.

Indeed. It is two POLA sets, crossing 330870 and crossing keepers cottage 330877. They will set you back a pretty penny, even with topslots discounts they are about £370 new.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Sorry for the late replies, I was busy working on the real railroad the past couple of weeks.

That does sound like a pretty steep price. I may wind up going for them on ebay.
