Wonder how much it costs to buy one of those, say for the entrance to your garage-wire that sucker up and turn it on when your garage opens. ARF-ARF-ARF-ARF!!!!!

 

This house comes with its own RR Xing:

 

Western Cullen Hayes

Mechanism, complete w/boom arms $7200
Post, 5" $520
Frangible base, single sided $1450
Light assembly, 2-way, complete $2700
Boom, complete w/LED lights $1700
Bell, electronic $900
Counterweights as required and appropriate signage are additional.

All in $AU of course....

But for a basic set up, a 4" post, frangible base and a one-way set of lights would set you back approx US$1900 or so, new....

Check out what you would need at Western-Cullen-Hayes Inc.
