You could control flashers and crossing bell with a simple SPST switch. I believe the ITTC sounds recycle under those circumstances. In crossing situations like that, the controls are often activated and deactivated by the train crew, especially if they're going to keep crossing and recrossing the streets on switching moves. (This is covered in employee timetable special instructions, more reason to add this sort of "documentary scenery" to a layout.) The downside is that the bells can get old pretty quickly.
