Re: Some flat sounding bells
Here is an extremely flat WCH mechanical bell.
As of 2019 however, the pedestrian gates have been upgraded to include GS Type 3's, whether the flat mechanical bell is still there i do not wish to speculate.

Two things: one, how can you tell that those are GS type 3s without hearing them? And two, those are not pedestrian gates. That is a quad-gate installation.NathanFromEngland wrote: Fri Sep 27, 2019 5:07 pm Here is an extremely flat WCH mechanical bell.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
Why? Because Brightline (cough) Virgin Trains USA use GS Type 3's for their installations, why would they use GS Type 2? Many crossings have GS Type 3s' even though i do not live in Florida!ZachL wrote: Mon Sep 30, 2019 10:24 amTwo things: one, how can you tell that those are GS type 3s without hearing them?

And for quad gates, those are pedestrian gates and not quad gates! Sure they were pedestrian gates back then but now they have been upgraded to quad gates.

Flat sounding safetran mechanical bell at 3:02. Video taken in the era when the p40s were brand new.

Re: Some flat sounding bells
The WCH mechanical bell sounds a bit flat here.
But then again, this is Florida after all.
Edit: Look's like the video is refusing to embed for me, how do i fix this?

Just remove anything and everything after the video ID, like I've told you (and done for you) 20,000 times before...NathanFromEngland wrote: Wed Oct 02, 2019 5:28 am The WCH mechanical bell sounds a bit flat here.

Also, looks like you've got the wrong video anyways, as the one you're trying to embed is the one I posted above, so you'll probably want to make sure you have the right link this time as well:
