@ricofojas2011 I use Pipes and wooden dowels to make the signals. The gates are made out of a flexible plastic to sway in the wind and the light housings are made out of metal and paper towel rolls or metal for the visors. One motor operates each gate and everything is held by hot glue.
Such quality work. You have even added the FRA-railroad tag! I am glad you included the your "manual" adjustments, to get a sense of scale! Also it looks like you have "updated" your back plates on the signals with a yellow border! Excellent as always
@TheBraniffTaylor Thanks. I always get lots of questions about how big the signals are so I wanted to at least give everyone a better view of the scale. Florida awhile ago began adding yellow boarders to the traffic signals so I thought that I would do the same. They reflect at night like the real ones. I have more videos coming of all the different crossing signal set ups and yes, I had to add the CSX report stalled vehicle sign under the lights.

Is the motor at the end of the video going to be part of an overhead mitter curtain for a new carwash?

@17Americanoboi It can be used for that function if needed.

These are impressive! What materials do you use to make them?
