Hi Stan
I was thinking of using two flashers and two crossing gate and one MP3 player per crossing. I like your idea of using one LED flasher circuit for the two flashers. Once I build the proto type I will make a decision then. I also purchased the volume control AMP for the MP3 player. As GRJ state in an earlier post that it was nice for a while and then start to drive him nuts with sound from the MP3 player. This way I have the option of turning the sound down or off.
