NJ International Highway Crossing Gate Signal #2164

[carmelmodelrr]

One of my pair of crossing gates has gone bad and I've discovered that NJ International is apparently no longer in business.  By some remote chance do any of you have such a signal that perhaps you never got around to installing--and be willing to sell to me?

Thank you.

Out of curiosity, in what way has it gone bad?

[carmelmodelrr]

The gate has stopped functioning (raising and lowering) due to a break in the wire that supports that function.  In addition, I believe that while trying to fix that problem I've damaged some of the other areas that trigger the flashing lights.

It's definitely the signal itself and not the drive/flasher unit? The only thing that can really go wrong with the lights in the signal itself are disconnected or broken wires or if the LEDs were exposed to power without a resistor in line.

I did not realize that they were sold in a fully function version (mechanical lowering and raising gate and also flashing lights).  I only seem to remember them being sold as either static models or with just flashing lights (no motion). At least in N scale (never  really looked at the H0 version)

When you mentioned "broken wire which supports that function), you mean electrical wire connected to a motor  or solenoid, or a thin rod/actuator which raises/lowers the gate itself?

I meant the "thin rod/actuator which raises/lowers the gate itself".
