Amazing find!! :TUP1: I might have to go there and check them out (if they're still there of course). Also, that makes three known WABCO Bells in Australia!

With the crossbuck-less signal and the crossbuck in front of it that says "Crossing Railway" instead of "Railway Crossing" it kind of looks a bit like a New Zealand crossing, at least from one side.

I just found this video of these signals in operation (Skip to 2:40). Also, notice how ridiculously fast the lights flash! Activation is a little late too:

Interested in knowing who made these. Very realistic...also a house in my old hometown has one of these by the doorstep, with a porch-type light on top.
