Post your crossing bell videos here if you own any

Post by YoshiDino90 » Mon Aug 18, 2014 8:25 am

I made a video of both of my crossing bells, one is a WRRS mini bell I got on ebay, while the other is a regular WRRS bell I got from the NYSW railroad. It used to protect Ringwood Avenue, but that crossing was upgraded and I received the bell after that.

Here's my RACO mechanical bell being manually rung. I still need to get the electromagnet in it re-wound.
They/Them for me, please.

here my Teardrop Bell. Since I shot this, I painted up the lettering with a white marker pen. So it looks a lot better

Here's a photo of my collection [I also have the housing of a GS E Bell but it's outside in my workshop.... I have two more coming in the mail and I will post videos soon.

From left to right: Safetran, RACO, US&S Teardrop, Clifford and Snell Yodalarm, WC Hayes [doesn't work, came from this crossing here http://www.rxrsignals.com/California/N- ... e/Sierra2/]

Does anyone know how to wire up the Yodalarm? It looks confusing.

Nice! I think that's actually an E2S alarm, which is also used at crossings over in the British Isles, though less common than Yodalarms. Probably some UK railfan could help you, or you could contact E2S and find out how to wire it up.

Not entirely sure on that though, since the center of the alarm on yours is square whereas most E2S alarms (it seems) are round in the center.
They/Them for me, please.

First bell that I ordered just came in! However........
The rainshield is missing, the hammer broke, and the instructions on the door were gone. Nonetheless, it's still a neat thing to own.

Second bell I have coming in, check out the gong :cool:
