not also that but all the lights are 8-inch and are from us&s and it's controlled by a very old us&S relay case!

Another WABCO Teardrop in Italy, though the bell sounds very flat, sadly:

Another pair of WABCO teardrop bells in Italy, with a pair of WABCO AL-70 "Triangle" gate mechs as well!


Looks like this is the crossing:

For Vintage Crossing Equipment, Italy has to be one of the best places in the world! If only I can see them for myself, maybe one day! :Grin:

Two at this Italian crossing, though one is dead and the other is starting to die:


Also note the WRRS gate mechs with wooden gate arms and lantern gate lights!

Italy is a gold mine for vintage American Signals. They aren't so keen on replacing older equipment like us in the U.S.!

Here is a cool setup in Udine, Italy. The Bells look to be rather clean for their age!
