Now, I'd be the first to agree, not in the best of condition, but none the less, I like it. Ian. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hi Ian, I have to admit I was thinking along the same lines as Mike. You can easily have one fully working and restored crossing by using parts from all three. Do I take it from your comment that you intend to leave them as they are, or are you going to try and find spare parts to fix all three? I would be interested to learn what use you intend to put these to on your layout(s).

Like anything else, a roof eventually turned up on ebay.de. Prior to that I had considered making a reasonable copy of the roof, out of some sheet metal. I was looking at crafting one, from an empty tomato tin can ..My two cents..Thom
