I will be installing a pair of O scale NJI "A" arm gates. The base has a tube extension of the flasher mast, There also a accuating push rod offset next to the mast. I thought drilling a main, slightly undersized, hole for force fit of mast then a smaller hole adjacent to it for push rod in a small hardwood block then mount it on layout.
Gates will be actuated by a tortise motor running the circuitron actuator and bell cranks. Whole thing will be actuated by Aztrax IR sensors and module.
Anyone have better mounting approach? I am in no big hurry as we have to do some serious layout roadway alterations to get gates to fit and positioned to look protypical believable.
