Here are some pictures of the mechanisms I've collected thus far...and a few bells that I painted recently. The Model 75 is the highlight of my collection....LOL...
The WABCO Model 75 mechanism.

The WABCO support arm that I painted recently. I still have to get the field side support arm (I only will accept an identical WABCO one...)

The WABCO bell...which was black...is now silver...and I think it looks 100% better.

The WRRS arm that came with the Model 75. The other matching WABCO arm was hit by a car...and damaged...so I'm waiting until I can find another matching WABCO field side arm.
gotcha some nice pieces of railroad equipment there rich. Those bells look nice and shiny. I also have 2 bells, a RACO and a Safetran. Until I get more money, I can't afford to paint them. The RACO's been blasted and just waiting for the paint. The Safetran... I still have some work to do on it. It needs to be blasted really badly. Its all Black except for the inside, and the paint is peeling off. Got any suggestions?
Man I wish I had your connections for getting stuff!! I would settle for just the set up with the LEX C lamps on it sans the gate set up. I hope to have something similar but with safetran 12" dia lights shortly. Hoping to swap out the 12" lights for LEX-C's or other 8" dia lights soon after. Great stuff and pics. Mike T
Due to economic conditions, the light at the end of the tunnel has been removed.

Thanks. I just need to get some black paint to paint the part that's faded right behind the backgrounds that closes to the light.
Also, later...since it'll be booming outside with fireworks...I'll be recording a few of my mechanical bells wired to my signals. The bells that I'm going to do are: 1) WABCO 2)Safetran Mechanical 3) RACO 4) Griswold 5) Mini-Bell
It'll be compiled into one video of about 30 seconds of each bell. Check back around 11 PM EDT for the video...
