I would like to find one of the smaller grade crossing relay cabinets for free or nearly free. As long is its not totaly rusted out. Somewhere in the northern half of Indiana would be wonderful. I can haul and get it out of your hair on short notice. Thanks Mike

I haven't even found those localy. I can find more signals and gates, just no relay boxes. One of the smaller single door models would be perfect. I would like to, in time , built the case up with the proper relays, charger, battery ect to look close to what it really would for a simple crossing install. Mike

I think it would be quicker to build one from outdoor grade ply and paint it silver. Probably can find door handle/latches that are close. I suspect most go to scrap or are sitting in signal grave yards that are on unfriendly railroads.
