Czechoslovakia hasn't existed in years, dude. They split and became the Czech Republic (Czechia) and Slovakia . Also, wishbone gates are very common there as they appear to be the current standard.

On that note, Crossing Signals in Slovakia and Czechia are based on designs from the Soviet Union, which themselves are based on American Designs from GRS and WRRS. The similarities are particularly noticeable with these photos from a Russian Modelling Website.[/quote]
