Harmonizing bells
I don't know if this has been posted on, but does anyone like when multiple bells at a crossing together?

Anyone have any crossings like this to share?

Re: Harmonizing bells
Here is one that i know of, although most of the Safetran Type 3's have been replaced on the further crossing.
One of the bells was damaged soon after the video was taken however. Two of the Safetran Type 3 have now been replaced with GS bells.

This crossing at 3:13 has a pretty nice sounding bell combo with a US&S teardrop sounding bell.

Yeah, if they are matching bells and not a mix between types.ColeD wrote:I don't know if this has been posted on, but does anyone like when multiple bells at a crossing together?

Re: Harmonizing bells
I don't know why but a WCH Mechanical combined with a Safetran Mechanical has always sounded so good together, but double US&S Teardrops sound even better!!
In E-bells, i love the combination of any type of GS E-bell with a WCH E-bell!

Re: Harmonizing bells
I like most bell mixtures, though my favorites have to either be a pair of Safetran/RACO/Griswold mechanical bells set at a high speed, a Safetran mechanical/GS Type 1 pair, and/or a WCH mechanical bell paired with a Safetran Type 2/NEG/GS Type 2 e-bell.
They/Them for me, please.
