Re: Some flat sounding bells
This Italian crossing has a couple of very flat sounding teardrop bells...

Crossing has since sadly been upgraded, using that annoying black yodalarm and those ugly Polish-looking gate mechanisms, Lydney Junction was also upgraded too.NathanFromEngland wrote:The yodalarm on the right side of the crossing sounds really sick, while the one on the left is dead.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
Not quite a bell, again, but one of the alarms at this crossing in Cornwall sounded rather jumpy.
Although as of September 2018, the issue appears to have been resolved.

Also skipped a few beats while ringing, likely why those are to be replaced within the next year or so (which means I should probably get back up there as soon as possible).NathanFromEngland wrote:Here is a flat sounding RACO bell on a installation on the Strasburg Railroad
