Well, I live in Europe (The Netherlands) and I've never seen a tower of any
kind next to a railroad crossing :-)

They are also pretty common in other countries, I understand. This website
has lots of pictures of crossings that look quite similar to the new Lego
one, in the UK and elsewhere (a couple of examples listed):

However note that most (all?) Australian crossings which are just crossings are
now automated - Bacchus Marsh also has a small interlocking which is the reason
they retain a signal box. Also Kooyong
http://www.signalbox.org/overseas/australia/kooyong.htm has one, but that is
because there's a tram line crossing there too, as is the case with Gardiner
(sorry no link).

Myself .. I will probably buy one... but, only after I've got an AT-AT  :-)

Me too 8?)
