I recently purchased a N.J International crossing gate set in HO. The gates swing freely but have a wire attached so that when you pull the wire the gates go down. Does anyone have ideas on how to make these work. I want to stay away from motorizing them although that would probably be best. I thought about keeping the wires straight and attach a small bar on the ends and hooking an automotive choke cable to activate the gates. Any ideas would be appreciated but please no real complicated ones, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. Thanks, Jeremy Go Packers
