This particular style of railway level crossing gate would appear,from the study of numerous photographs of British railway topics, to have been peculiar to Scotland,(unless someone knows otherwise) and used by most of the major pregrouping Scottish railway companies, albiet with minor differences in the style and placement of fittings, ie. lamps and warning boards. Some gates even survived in use as late as 1974,well into the British Railways era.
The model:- the kit components are cast in high quality whitemetal, the gate castings have wire cast insitu to represent the
steel rods of the prototype.A few images of the finished kit can be found on this page.
