Hey Thanks. I am currently in the middle of mounting the lights and finishing its wiring! I am also trying to get my hands on a NS Dot tag. Even though I live in Texas, I still consider the NS the best railroad in the United States! But of course I grew up in Charlotte N.C so that might explain my love for the Norfolk Southern.
BTW Welcome to the forum man!
Where can you get crossing bells at?
You got to go to a signal department within a freight yard, which is where all kinds of stuff is thrown out. But you have to ask a official first if you can have something. Just taking a light or a bell is a federal offense.
You can also buy these things at antique stores (where I got my bell) or on eBay.

I forgot about EBAY! This year it seems as the listings are not as good as a couple years back. Also there is not enough stuff on sale. But if you search for traffic signals, there are a bunch. Now there is a Econolite Doghouse Ive had my eyes on for a while. Hopefully no one bought it just yet.

The lights go up tommorrow! Note: The signal has been placed in the ground on its final sitting place. Also the front light has supermarket bags, since I have been covering up the light until setup day. It has rained so much here in dallas, that I needed to cover them up. Since the last time, a raco relay/phone box has been added. In the second picture the lights are being tested.

I got a poll up for who should be the operator for my signal. I will really love to hear your suggestions. Link to poll below.

My signal is just about done. Just Need a Bracket cover and a base and I am all good. I almost got my hands on a NS Dot tag but lost the Bid to some jerk who raised the bid in Ebay from 45 Dollars to $1100.95. So no hope there
