New crossing gates
I bought some N Scale crossing gates from a 3D printer, paid for 6 but he sent 8. You can see some of the detail - amazing actually in that size. They are about 1 1/4" tall. Believe ir or not the maker even had the tower hollow and the lights ready for micro LEDs. The cleaning off the production supports was enough detail work for me - no LEDs. I did paint parts following some 1950 photos of crossing gates. Up close the detail painting does not look great - but from 2 feet away no problem. The hollow main pole is just the size of a toothpick so that is how they will be installed.
I have "RAIL", "ROAD", "CROSSING" signs for the "X" piece. Another "little" job to add.
The extra is a bunch of 20 people I am painting up for the new buildings. I learned in a model clinic how to do it - start painting like you were dressing the n scale people. Inside out. Sort of assembly line.
