For a lifting flap, but the pivot needs to be half inch or so above the
flap surface, if that makes sense.

It's called a "Bar flap hinge"


Standard bar flap hinge (Del Boy) will not work as the pivot is too close
to the flap surface.

But you need to find a cheaper source.

Of course the obvious thing to do is hinge it at the bottom and let it go
down rather than up.


Hopeless with the train stuff where it will get in the road when going thru.
Makes a lot more sense to use the proper hinges and have it lift up.
