My AOTW offering is the humble Tyco telephone pole - these are actually pretty detailed, compared to other HO telephone poles of the same time. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." - Matthew 5:16
I recently wired up a Logic Rail Technologies Grade Crossing Pro detection/flasher unit to my Model Power crossing signals, along with the photocell sensors being installed in the E-Z Track (a bit of extra drilling work, but the roadbed base is pretty convenient in holding the sensors in place!) It took quite a bit of trial and error to get the signals and the sensors wired up just right, and then adjust the sensitivity of the photocell sensors (once the new ceiling light was installed they operated a lot better!)
Here's a video of the crossing in action...
I am pretty pleased with the results. Some time this year I'll probably get another Grade Crossing Pro unit and signalize another one of my crossings (probably put LEDs in my TYCO crossing gate and make it flash!)
BTW, Lionel now makes those signals, still with brass construction, but it now uses red LEDs instead of bulbs (of course.)
