Would like some ideas/pics etc. for level crossings.

Most of the grade crossings on the club layout are done with stripwood stained and dyed plaster roads. The first pic the ends of the wood should be angled to not snag the coupler.

This is supposed to represent a wood plank crossing on a gravel road. It's a piece of a styrene "for sale "sign from wally world painted railroad tie brown and scribed with an x-acto knife,sorry for the cruddy pic:

 And this is the same material painted with Polly Scale grimey black to look like asphalt(again, cruddy pic. I"m a MRR not a picture taker!)

Hope this helps.

Gerome,

  Blair Line makes wood crossings in several curve radius configurations:

I would be grateful for ideas, illustrations, pics, links, products for creating  HO level crossings (code 83) for roadways. 

I might build both dirt rut roads/gravel or pavement across some tracks.  However, they would most often have to cross on curves, so the one retail kit I saw wouldn't work I don't think.
