Re: Is this a bell?

you'd normally see those on the top of old relay cabinets. wires would be passed through them and up to power lines.

Re: looking for a m crossing bell this is not ebell topic

I agree with kight, ebay is the best bet, check back every day. there's often some that go for $30 bucks. of course there are the crazy people that want $299 for a rusty WCH withouut a base but with patience you could find a good bell dirt cheap

Re: need help wiring GRS flasher relay

need help wiring GRS flasher relay

I recently got a GRS flasher relay, it seems to be newer than all the ones i've seen. I can get the relay to power up but can't seem to get power to the lights. i'm assuming I'm getting something wrong with where to hook the lights or the ground. any help would be greatly appreciated.

red/orange DT&I bells

I remember reading about DT&I painting their bells the same color as the locomotives. my teardrop seems to be DT&I heritage as it had what seemed to be almost a CN orange under it's black paint. does anyone have more info and pictures of these?
