hi i pick up HO MTH crossing gate set and they look cool but question can i add new longer rodes? cause the rodes for gates are 1 1/2 long.
What’s a rode?
An actuating or operating “rod”?
operating "rod for gates.
It depends on how easy or hard the original rods are to remove. You will also have to select new material for the new rods. Brass is easiest to work with and shoud do the job. It all depends on how accessable things are for removing the old ones and putting the new ones on. You are going to have to study on it and see if you can do it.
The other option is to make an extension for the rods that are on there now, to make them longer.
