It's been a little while since I first shared my working model railway level-crossing lights project, and I've just revisited it with some significant improvements – and new versions of the videos.
For the signs themselves, I've designed 3D printable cowls for the lights, with an option to print the backs instead of using Sugru. The files for both of these are downloadable from the links below.
And, I've found a permanent home for the controller, mounted under the signal box, where it takes power from the tracks.
Also updated is my Raspberry Pi Pico controller – now with power from the tracks and an added remote control button, so you don't have to lift up the signal box every time a train comes past.
