Yea, that looks like a Yodalarm, probably a Y05.TrickyMario7654 wrote: Any idea on what sort of bells are on this crossing in Moss Vale, NSW? (Is it a yodalarm?)

Thanks for telling me that. I also found a crossing in Shepparton, Victoria with two black and white wishbone gates! (Sadly, it was replaced when GSV went through a few months later...freebrickproductions wrote:Yea, that looks like a Yodalarm, probably a Y05.
I had a feeling that was a CSX crossing when I saw the black-colored mechanical bell.freebrickproductions wrote:Active crossing, Murfreesboro, TN:

Nice find, also the old gate mechs appear to have been Harmon which are rare these days. I don't know what it is about the Harmon mechanisms but most of the ones I knew of have been replaced, yet they seem to keep the older mechanisms like WRRS/GRS. I wonder if the Harmon mechs have developed some known problems or maybe parts are no longer available?TrickyMario7654 wrote:I also found a crossing in Shepparton, Victoria with two black and white wishbone gates!

Not to mention, there's still a few McK&H gate mechs around Melbourne too.McK&H.Aust wrote:Nice find, also the old gate mechs appear to have been Harmon which are rare these days.
