OLI Tower’s concept developed about the time that I completed my Operation Lifesaver certification. I wanted to be able to show the 3 types of active and passive devices that mark crossings, and do it with true scale details. Eventually, I hope to have working gates and flashers on the mains and flashing lights only on the Alternate Blue crossing. (I’ve got a flashing light device to try on the Alternate Blue sometime soon.) The grade crossing on the Mountain (Green) line will get the passive crossbucks. |
