I decided I didn't like how my old crossing shapes looked, so you know what that means...
Xings_1
I've rebuilt most of my shapes from scratch (except cantilevers, which were mostly good enough), but flashers, gates, signs, bells? All new.
Xings_2
Most shapes have the same name as the originals, and can be simply dropped into a route to upgrade them. The only real exception is cantilevers, which got a new naming convention, and will have to be changed one-by-one (the arms may not perfectly match anyway, as I didn't do a good job keeping different arm lengths around).
This set is not only a replacement of old shapes, but an expansion. Several new features exist. Side-of-mast-mounted bells, two new crossbuck textures, many new cantilevers, a new gate mechanism (WCH Model 3590), two new gate lengths (15' and 27'), and an alternate gate texture (horizontal or vertical stripes, see below), as well as a few other things sprinkled in.
Xings_3
The first set to be released will focus mostly on modern stuff. A new set of bell and gate sounds will be released around the same time. Older stuff is in the works, but will come at a later date.
Xings_4
(traffic lights not included. Maybe someday I'll finish them...)
If you've got something you think should be in these sets, now's the time to speak up
