Re: Known existing US&S and MI mechanical bells
Yes of course! Sorry about that. Is there anything about the front of the bell?

Re: Known existing US&S and MI mechanical bells
Not really, no. Though generally if you're familiar with what equipment is/was used by railroads and when, you can get a good idea for what a bell will probably be. For example, you won't find any US&S bells on ex-SOU lines, but you will at least occasionally find an MI bell or two.flat train wrote: Fri Dec 06, 2019 4:43 pm Yes of course! Sorry about that.

Re: Known existing US&S and MI mechanical bells
Maybe you could look at the lights and base on google maps. I also have a question. why is this on your responses? "There should be a legal limit as to how humid it can be on any given day during the summer here in the South..."
