Level crossing inserts?

[kirky]

I am pretty sure Unit Models do them.......

Thanks for that, but the only ones I can see on the website look like the older wooden type crossings.
Thanks tho.

Rather than worrying about replicating the real world materials, consider what the real world one looks like from 100yards away..I think the road markings will stand out most.  Matt card sounds a good idea..

That's a good question. The simple answer is that we have two level crossings on Northallerton and they are both at the very front of the layout. Like three inches from the board edge! Very very easily seen in detail. And for that reason I want them to look as good as possible.

I had them sent to Australia. Typically, from the US/Canada things take about 1 week to 10 days for us.

Rather than ordering direct from BLMA, I ordered from an outfit called PWRS. Alternatively, other suppliers to consider would be Fifer or N Scale Supply. Perhaps there are UK suppliers of BLMA products?

Just had a look and Unit Models does do grade crossings. From appearances, the Unit Models crossings are more rural than the BLMA crossings. Here is a photo of mine installed.

That looks really really good, but unfortunately not very prototypic ally British, at least not where I'm modelling.
Thanks again for sharing though.
