We should have a page in Electronic Bells for RSI.
You'd need to acquire one and record its sound if you want a useful page.
I may just imbed this video on the webpage if the uploader is okay with that:
Pretty strange seeing a bell like that on a miniature signal! Although I don't think it would look professional to use that video. There are probably others that would be better.

I haven't seen any others. AFAIK, that's the only one. If there are any though, feel free to let me know.

I wonder why this crossing in Belcherville, Massachusetts has a extra brac- Oh wait no that's what i said to FreeBrick nearly a year ago when i knew pretty much nothing about railroad crossings in the US.
Surely it could've been for in case the trees block the light on the left, but it looks as if those tree's have had a haircut. Google Street View even caught it in action! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@42.27928 ... 312!8i6656

Nice find!
I hope this doesn't sound strange but I didn't know that you and David knew each other for over a year!

I would say it's more due to the telephone pole than the trees.

Well, was watching this documentary called Why Trains Crash, and one scene included the Lac-Megantic rail disaster, one scene shows a new railroad crossing slowly coming together. It has a base, and WCH Gate Mechs and gates i think?
The town is slowly picking up the pieces though, although lots of people died that night on July 6th 2013. Most people decided to move to better places. Because now it just looks like a small village.
