we'd like to show and discuss with you our railway barrier - actually it works manual, but we plan to integrate a mindstorms sensor.

Have much fun:

for the crossing inbetween the platforms id add a chain as a barrier to prevent people from crossing the tracks when a train is coming

That's looking nice. And that curved road is looking interesting as well.

I think we'll go with the chain variante, but thanks for the effort. 

there is a chain between the two poles. maybe ill go there wednesday and take a detailed picture as it is quite close to where i live.

Yes, but indeed you just need one baseplate beneath the rails, have a look:

Thanks, the brick built streets are in general a great technique.

Yes indeed, but then it wouldn't be as high as the rest of my layout.
