{"product_id":"atlas-701-ho-scale-elevated-gate-tower-kit","title":"Atlas 701 HO Scale Elevated Gate Tower Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eAtlas 701 is an HO scale kit for an elevated gate tower — the small raised-cabin structure that gave a crossing watchman or gate keeper a clear sight-line over a busy urban grade crossing. From the 1890s through the 1950s, every major-city street crossing that handled significant pedestrian and trolley traffic had one of these towers and a human operator who lowered the gates by hand as a train approached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit is moulded in colour so heavy painting is optional; the small footprint (~ 2 × 1-1\/4\", 51 × 32 mm) makes it easy to tuck against the corner of a downtown grade crossing or alongside an interlocking. Pair it with the Atlas #704 Signal Tower for the full interlocking-plant treatment, or use it solo at a single busy crossing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevated crossing-gate tower — building kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ 2 × 1-1\/4\" (51 × 32 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coloured styrene, no painting required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atlas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45097380872374,"sku":"150-701","price":17.76,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5131\/1286\/files\/57_361300b3-e3ac-490a-bbd8-a99e2580ef9c.png?v=1777554821","url":"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/products\/atlas-701-ho-scale-elevated-gate-tower-kit","provider":"Oakville Model Trains Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
