Nice photo. I came up with one of the old Marx crossbucks at a flea market last year for a few $$$. Fun accessory, and the lights even work.

good morning...
speaking of crossing gates...and since paul mentioned marx...here's the one in my small collection of marx accessories...it's cosmetically complete but does not operate...i believe there is a return spring missing in mechanism...
