Re: Locations Of Current Known "ASC E-Bells"
They are. For whatever reason, some ASC e-bells, like the ones above, look rather different compared to other ASC e-bells. I'm guessing these were a 2nd Generation of ASC e-bells, probably made for a little while before the company dissappeared.ZachL wrote:could be wrong but i do not think those are bellsdan the ca railfan wrote:walnut st. waterloo iowa

Interesting! I had never seen 'em before. Do they use that same GS type 1 tone that the typical ASC ones do?freebrickproductions wrote:They are.

Probably, though I'm honestly not sure if a recording of one of these exists.ZachL wrote:Interesting! I had never seen 'em before.

Re: Locations Of Current Known "ASC E-Bells"
Petersen Road, near Oconomowoc, WI. Looks to be a 2nd Generation one:

Found out about it through this video. Interesting to note that it has a lower pitch like a GS Type 2, though I'm not sure if it was actively pitched down or was made that way:

It looks like they're definitely capped with unpainted PVC, but I can't tell if the whole body is PVC pipe as well with paint, or metal.

Re: Locations Of Current Known "ASC E-Bells"
I have an ASC bell I bought off Ebay years ago. The cap is just a piece of PVC. The body is metal. In regards to the talk about the different designs of them, there are two versions. An omni-directional and a uni-directional type. The omni-directional version has the mesh going all the way around the body, with the small metal cone shaped piece at the bottom. This throws the sound out 360 degrees. The uni-directional model only has an opening over half of the body, while the rest is solid. This throws the sound (mostly) in one direction. The Petersen Road crossing has a uni-directional model bell, with the opening facing away from me.

Found this one just looking up a location of a YouTube video and then checking other crossings on the same line.
