I put together a crude picture:

*NOTICE* - you will have to copy and paste it. Just clicking on it won't work.
(I think ... )
What it uses is 3 pieces that the gate slides on (2x2x5 or 2x2x4... not really
sure), two 1x2 bricks with a hole in the middle, a steering wheel, and a rope.
When you tie the rope and rotate the wheel (big and bulky - just like I would
imagine they would be), the rope winds and the gate goes up.
To finish it off, you have a 1x2 brick that bends (geez - I need to get my lego
dictionary here), put on it a 1x2 plate with one stud, a 1x1 cylinder, and a
1x1x3 antena. The cylinder actually keeps it all in place, while the antena is
used as leverage and the actual ... lever?
I hope that clears things up.

I tried to make Verneer to be the most individual and opportunistic one of the
heros. While Ian is the "good" person, he has also been put in a position to be
a "good" person. Verneer didn't get all the outlaws mobilized by being pure
good. But he has his own agenda and is fair - so I guess that would make him a
middle person for right now (as things will change, eh?)
