crossing gates

[wilson]

Still searching for a stock g scale crossing gate.  The one I like is the Crossing Flasher and Gate set with 2 Block Signal Detectors.  Listed as Mfg. Part Num. DZ1010,  at the Wholesale train website.  Trouble is this is listed as an O scale item.    Anybody actually know what the height of these signals are?  If tall enough I would purchase them.

Bachmann has a large scale crossing gate mentioned in this year's releases.  See:  http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/catalog/?function=detail&id=1744

If you want something else, have you seen Shiloh Signals crossing signals?  No gate, but otherwise nice.  http://www.geocities.com/shilohsig/

I bought a crossing set with gates and crossing signs with 2 flashing lights that operated alternatively and a bell rand in a lineside shed that was part of the crossing set. This was in G scale. This was about 3 years ago. I installed them and they worked OK - until I bought a B'mann Consolidation......... Then the fun began. The loco is so wide that it disintegrated the shed on the first pass, and then also wiped out one of the crossing signals. I took it off the layout and it now resides in the 'things to do when I retire' bin....... I will eventually remake the set-up and widen the clearances.

Does anyone know the manufacturer of this particular item listed at the Wholesale Trains website - DZ1010, maybe I could just contact them to find out the exact dimensions.
