Those are really really nice....
the only thing is that they recommend taking them in after a session, obviously as they are not entirely weather-proof.
But with a bit of `fettlin` they should be able to become weather resistant, even for our winters/summers over here.
At present I use the `Life Like` crossing signals with led flashing lights but with no gates or bell. They are based on 40`s/50s style and although made to run off 2 AA batteries they will happily run off my 19v lighting `ring` (the tungsten bulb model will obviously not!).
They have a pressure sensor to activate them (which I don`t use) but could be wired for an infra fred or track sensor.
They come up on ebay for about £10 or so.
I leave them out all year around and so far so good after 7 years.......
