Do they still make Safetran Bells?

Talk about crossing signal companies here. International companies are okay too.

A year or two ago, i watched this Australian Railroad Crossing video, and the Safetran Type 3 electronic bell sound got me interested into finding out more about it.

When i posted in the comments, some guy said this.

" Siemens "Wayguard Level Crossing Bell"

So i searched it and found nothing related to it. Until someone later posted in the comments stating it was the Safetran Type 3.

Although i do adore them, the only problem is that they can either die quickly or get damaged (depending if it is the 1st generation or 2nd)

The bell appears to have broken away from the bottom part, i couldn't see any damage to the signal it was based on. So maybe it could've been damaged by weather?

The top of the bell has completely vanished, maybe this could've been weather related too?

Safetran is now owned by Siemens, but some products are carried under the Siemens and Safetran name.
