Hi Dick, seems like it would be pretty easy to link a switch machine like a
tortoise or similiar to raise and lower the gate. The electronics should also
be pretty easy considering the amount of new sensors and circuits that come out
every year? I think the hardest part will be the leg work to run all this stuff
down and sort it out (assuming you have some S scale sized crossing gates and
flashers to install the control parts into).
