Searching for a HO Scale grade crossing signal/gate model that looks prototypical, scales accurately, and has fully functionality, is daunting-if not impossible. 
That’s where the Showcase Miniatures Model 10 Crossing Signsl/Gate kit makes up for a multitude of sins and lack of an accurate representation of the prototype. 
While this is a ‘craftsman’ level kit, it’s easy to build following the 3 page illustrated instructions provided. 
A few hand tools are all that are necessary to build the model in almost any configuration you can think of and it can be optionally lighted to function with their line of 402 and 603 LED’s.
I built my first last week and chose to forego the gated option - for now. 
Everything assembles nicely with some filing, drilling and painting. 
When completed, this kit builds into the most realistic and accurate-scaled crossing gate signal apparatus you can find in HO scale. 
If you’re looking for the best grade crossing signal on the market, this is THE choice. Period. 
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for the best quality and value, with the added bonus of working directly with the owners who are the nicest folks you’ll ever speak with. 

Really well done kit, for a 1980's to 2000's grade crossing, with or without arms, different signs, and working arm, what else do you need. Add in Showcase Miniatures excellent customer service, and you have a home run

Makes a realistic addition to my HO layout.

This is a beautiful done kit. You cannot beat the price compared too other competitors out and the kit is well detail.  I will be purchasing another kit.
