Yeah good clear, well-lit pictures, inside and out. :)
Come-on you can do it! ;)
I rebuilt at least three different kinds of bells and maybe four but only
know the makes of two of them, it'd be cool to figure out the other/s. ;)
US&S is easy to remember because of the shape and it was the type I
rebuilt the most of. Didn't rebuild that many bells tho prob'ly close to a
dozen is all. SafeTran was the other and oh heck, :) just realized Western
Cullen was another! ...and that's prob'ly it, just those three brands.

I have my one bell posted in the collections section of the Extras.
As a bonus, I'm posting a video (12.37 MB) I made a few months back of the Safetran bell ringing with one of my HO scale signals.
Note: The private crossing sign is only used in California, and was too large. It has since been replaced with a standard crossbuck. My next wave of signals will contain the private sign.

PHOTOS of bells, labeled, please.
My bell is WRRS but I do not knowhat model.
Horizontal solenoid.
Looks like it has a capacitor, probably for spark suppression athe two contacts.
Have not had time to do a wiring schematic of it.
