I have no problem with NJ crossing gate operation.
Look good and operate well.

Earl...
I do think the NJI crossing gates LOOK very nice. It is just
their
operation that is lousy. Lehigh Valley Models also makes a
crossing
gate kit that can be made operational with some effort. But it
is
not operational in an RTR sense.
Operating semaphores are made by TOMAR in HO. With a longer
mast,
they can pass as S. He built some for me with a 36% longer mast
and
I am happy with them. I believe the blade is a bit oversize for
HO.
Probably not exactly correct for S either, but it is close
enough for
my loose modeling standards. With a special order for a longer
mast,
you should expect to wait 4-6 weeks to receive them.
Cheers...Ed L.
