Well, i have a crossing already built, it just needs to be motorized. I will
bring it to the next meeting (whenever that may be, hopefully before the
show), and let you take a look at it to see what I need to do to make it
compatable with the motors.
I think I have one motor around somewhere that I can donate to the cause.
and I may have some light things.
