stan2004 posted:So Ponz' near-term plan is to convert the broken crossing gates to flasher-only as suggested by KD elsewhere.
It's a straight-forward mechanical-only (no wiring, no soldering) conversion. 4 screws hold the crossing arm to the poles.
As discussed earlier, the flashers operate whenever the crossing arm mechanism is not triggering the upper limit switch. So simply back off (turn CCW) the upper adjustment screw until the LEDs start flashing when red/black power is applied. No connection is needed to yellow, white, or blue wires.
Done this way, if there be occasion to attempt a gear replacement, the electrical side is good-to-go.
