Detailing a realistic model railway level crossing from a simple plastic kit (HD)

[@pault1289]

I admire your commitment, but I can see that spraying the gates with that little bit of grey does improve them!

Yes, I think the extra work paid off.

[@paulsevers7740]

the unrealistic part of your crossing is that the gates MUST by law close the railway off from the road when open to the road - yours leave a huge gap

[@paterpracticus]

I know. Very much a balance between realistic road width and the over-wide set-track separation. I went for the former.
