Re: Some flat sounding bells
It is even worse now, i am a member of the preserved railway it is located on, when i get more active there i will look at fixing it if i can, otherwise if it is beyond repair i will place a new mechanism inside it!freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 10:59 amOne of the bells here just kinda ups and dies not long after activating:

Re: Some flat sounding bells
This crossing has a pair of bad alarms, this crossing has now been removed.
Back in March 2014 they didn't sound that bad...
EDIT: Prior to closure they sounded much worse...

One of the bells at Stephens Road in Canterbury has started sounding rather rough and flat!

Re: Some flat sounding bells
Here is a pair of some weak sounding WABCO teardrops on a crossing in Italy.
The WABCO mechanical bell on the signal closest to the camera sounds rough, as for the teardrop on the further signal, it sounds rather flat.
This Safetran mechanical bell, IMO sounds a bit flat.

The bell completely doesn't work now, except for the motor letting out a very silent vibration during lowering sequence. It does let out a faint little ring though around 1:45 if you do listen carefully.freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 5:01 pmOne of the bells at the second crossing in this video sounds pretty rough (you can hear it the best starting at about 5:15 in the video). The first crossing also features an alarm that's having issues.

Sounds like this Safetran m-bell clicks a couple of times and dies:

These bells don't sound too great.
