Is there any support in the Interface Gateway to operate and monitor level crossings? I don't see it listed in the wiki page, and my test application isn't receiving anything if a manually operate a level crossing in the sim.

More specifically, I'm trying to automate some of the simpler boxes in North East Scotland. I have it successfully set up so that, if I request line clear from Greenloaning to Blackford, the block instrument changes (monitoring/updating flag `L2GLBK`), but I won't be able to set the route past Blackford until the level crossing is lowered.

(The documentation for sending `sigobjstate` needs an update under "Message Types". In the context of NEScot where the flags for the block instrument controls have multiple values, it does work to send `{"sigobjstate":{"object":"L2GLBK","state":4}}`, not just `"true"` or `"false"`. Overall, though, this is pretty complete and the level of detail I need to code something up.)

There isn't any support at the moment (loader v5.13) but this would be useful!

Some people have had success by connecting as a multiplayer client rather than as a gateway client, but this is unsupported and undocumented and likely to break with version changes.
