In Seymour there are second generation Westinghouse hybrid bells both with different gong sounds. The hybrid bells on the school house lane crossing sound close to a Westinghouse tear drop bell

[@AH137productions]

Yes, I know about those crossings. Thanks for the info

I like how these are American bells too

[@jacktherailwayenthusiast3343]

Awesome video, it's really good you've filmed a lot of these bells. It's really sad that we mostly have way too many Safetran Type 3's in Victoria as well as General Signals Type 2's and it sucks that the hybrid bells are slowly disappearing and that other mechanical bells are getting rare.

[@AH137productions]

Level Crossing Fan Thanks , yes

[@aussie_trainspotting_videos]

In South Australia, we have way too many safetran 3s.

[@jacktherailwayenthusiast3343]

Same in Victoria. It sucks that V/Line still use them. The Siemens electronic bells are now loud and scratchy too.

[@ScratchGlass9]

Fun to watch ! Thanks for this. Greetings from Detroit .

[@borkers7]

My favourite bells are Westinghouse hybrid, Mc&h teardrop bell, Westinghouse teardrop, WCH, WRRS and flat Mckenzie and Holland flat teardrop bells and not to mention flat Westinghouse hybrids

Congratulations on 137 subscribers and thanks for featuring my Federal signal mechanical bell

[@AH137productions]

Thanks yeah I though I should feature it as it’s a pretty cool bell!

[@TCJ_YT]

Well as I looked in the description you need to film a Federal Signal so... How can I help?

[@AH137productions]

Yeah I basically need to film a FS bell without another bell in the background

[@TCJ_YT]

Well 🤔 Come to my house that’s my advice or you and I film at a passive crossing

Tim The Man Here in Melbourne when the GS Type 1s we’re first introduced , all of them were fitted with mesh grills by the then rail operator connex. Yes I have heard about the safetran hybrids and from what I’ve seen they sounds great. It’s a shame that we don’t have any here

@@AH137productions Also in your country, you don't have any US&S teardrop bells.

We have had US&S teardrops here in Aus but as far as I know not in my state. Over time 2 have been found in South Australia. 1 on a display signal in the 80s at Belair and another was found a couple months ago at the NRM Yard in Adelaide. It’s likely that there were more but they replaced a lot of there equipment in the 80s
