Take a listen to this clip. The GS bell here sounds a bit flat, and low pitched.

Well, why not? That horrid screeching sound compliments the upside down gate on the opposite approach signal.
:Ohmy:

ive looked at those the last couple of days and a few mins ago a train came by and when the gate went down at the one crossing it smacked a car LOL
as far as the ebell gos ugg don't like it and just shows that the maintainer is a slack ass as well as the wrongly stripped gate
wounder when well start seeing the new Canadian style here as gates are being grandfathered :glare:

So, is it cheaper to replace an e-bell with a new one... or perhaps take an old one, work on the circuit board, and just swap refurb bells each time one croaks?

If memory serves me right, wasn't there a post on here or a pic on the website somewhere that showed that there was a WCH chip in a GS bell or vice versa??
