Question Help! ID required!

Hi all.
Can anyone identify the level crossing pictured in the attachements? It seems to be too big to be 00 gauge, so it's more likely to be O gauge. It is all metal comprising of 2 pairs of gates, painted white with the red warning disc on them, and an approach ramp for each side which is a very light metallic green colour. There are no identifying marks on the crossing at all, but on the box is a yellow label reading 'NO.1243 LEVEL CROSSING MADE IN ENGLAND'. Please reply if anyone knows anything!

Many thanks,
Tony

I have checked my 1962 Gamages model railway book and there's nothing like it in there.

I think it is probably pre-war. Bassett Lowke would be my best guess.

Best wishes,

Thanks John.
Is there any possibility that it could be OO gauge? I mean, were the accessories such as this always exact scale? Basically, the gates are just about as tall as a current OO loco, which is what made me think it could be O gauge, but maybe it's not particularly accurate in scale.
Any more ideas?

Tony

The Triang ones I saw had a one piece gate each side.
