The signal equipment I own besides my two bells are a pair of safetran 12x20 lights that I got back in 2015 as well as a safetran 8 inch light that I got in 2016 from a house auction. Pics will come later because I'm currently in school.
Cool, same. My equipment in in my signature.

Same as in I’m in school now, too.
I've been in school since 7:14am. I sadly don't go home until 2:25. Hopefully I can dig out my 12x20 lights since they are currently in my basement somewhere. My 8 inch light is buried in my closet with my bells. All 3 lights work fine. One of my 12x20 lights I had to replace the bulb since it burned out. This was 2015 when I replaced it. And they were beat up when I got them. But since then they are in better shape then when I first got them. They are the Hawker Siddeley labeled ones. Only 1 crossing in Independence has a pair of the Hawker Sideley labeled safetran lights.
Cool. There’s multiple crossings in the Kirkwood/Oakland, MO area on the BNSF with Hawker lights. I’ve been in school since 8:00 AM and get out at 2:55 PM. I’m fortunate to go to school right down the street from the Kirkwood Train Station. Lucky me. :TUP2:
Lucky! My school is right next to the KCS Mexico Subdivision. My house is near the tracks as well. I always find trains sitting whenever I be leaving school. They usually sit and wait for the trains on the Sedalia Sub to move by.
Awesome!!! I live a short 5-10 minute bike ride from the UP and another couple minutes to the BNSF. Also, are your lights on a bracket? My school is also closer to the BNSF Cuba sub but it’s relatively dead, so I walk to the UP.

Why does everyone copy my signature?

OG signal collection signature, I think. :LOL2:

Sadly the brackets on my 12x20 lights are broken, but my 8 inch light still has a bracket. I'll show you what I'm talking about when I get home. I usually film the Sedalia Sub since catching trains on the KCS is hard. The trains come out of nowhere at random. I mostly film the River Runner. I have ventured out to Sugar Creek to film the BNSF, but always come unlucky.

Should we start a new quote, or move to a PM chat? The quote is kinda getting long.

Yes to either. We should probably move to PM before this gets waaay off topic.

Also, how are the brackets broke?

Also freebrickproductions is gonna kill you for double-posting like that :LOL3: JK nothing against him.

Idk how they got broken, I'm gonna assume they got broke when the railroad took them out of service. I am in need of new brackets for them. If you know where I can get new brackets, let me know.

Sorry for bumping this topic, but I finally got some pics of my bells on my Flickr account if anyone wants to check it out.

I own a WCH 1st gen mechanical bell, but soon I might get another bell if I find a better deal.

Got a link to it? I can't find it on your channel for some reason.
