Re: Known existing WABCO Bells
Are WABCO bells that uncommon or special, though?

Still not as uncommon as...say, a Safetran Type-1 e-bell or a US&S teardrop.freebrickproductions wrote:I'd say so. Not too many left in service these days...ZachL wrote:Are WABCO bells that uncommon or special, though?

Re: Known existing WABCO Bells
I'd say that US&S mechanical bells are more common, though they're harder to find on Google Maps due to the fact that they're essentially a rebranded MI bell, and look exactly the same from the front. At the very least, US&S mechanical bells are about as common as WABCO bells.ZachL wrote:Still not as uncommon as...say, a Safetran Type-1 e-bell or a US&S teardrop.freebrickproductions wrote:I'd say so.

If you have any crossing photos that you would like for submissions:
DM me on the forum
DM me on Discord (ethantherailfanner)
Currently doing my Ohio stuff, but still having network problems. (My router is to blame.)
Expect updates from the following states chronologically: Ohio, Oregon, Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, and more to come in the coming months. I'll add in more states on the chronological list depending on where I have been to and/or where the submissions come from. The chronological order is subject to change at any time.
