I want to revive a thread started by Wiley 209 a few years ago, under
the Tyco Accessories Forum. I am having so much fun with this
and would really like to see what other Tycoheads
did, or are doing, with this classic.

The original TEL plan had a pressure activated crossing arm, but
I used the Tyco Gate House in its stead as the pressure plate on
the first had a way of picking flanges. As the electrical pressure sensor
is rather crude and would be sensitive to temperature fluctuations
I bypassed it and set it to an off/on switch to activate it for photo
shoots and such. I only leave it engaged
for a few seconds at a time to avoid overheating. Not shown is
the missing crossbuck. Fortunately, I have an extra one from
the generosity of MoparRocker74, who threw one
in as a freebie on my trade with him.
