Re: Some flat sounding bells
here's a video of the crossing in lodi ,ca on pine street which has two us&S teardrop bells in action and it sounds like one of the teardrop bells has gone dead sadly.
it would also be the case why the bell in partcular that isn't shown would be the one that sounds dead.

One of them does sound a bit rougher at points though, but far from the worst Teardrop I've heard...NathanFromEngland wrote:Both sound fine to me.dan the ca railfan wrote:here's a video of the crossing in lodi ,ca on pine street which has two us&S teardrop bells in action and it sounds like one of the teardrop bells has gone dead sadly.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
Unrelated, but here's a strange sounding alarm, that hasn't been changed since the late 1980's!
Sadly, it's beginning to sound sicker, here is a video from October 2017.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
Here's a video of a few pedestrian crossings in Sweden with some rather interesting signals. One of them has a mechanical bell that sounds like it's on its way out:

A very flat-sounding WABCO Teardrop bell here, along with a rather weak and rough sounding WABCO bell on the other signal:

Re: Some flat sounding bells
One of the bells here is dead, and the other one can't even strike the gong properly.
One of the bells here sound rough, but i just love the sound out of the both of them.
