RIP to the Teardrop there, hopefully it's repaired. Great video!

Thanks, I do wonder if the fault it has would only need some slight adjustments to get it working again. Either way the bell and the signals will only be here for a few more years as the railway line will be upgraded soon for the Inland Rail project.

Sorry to break it to everyone but the teardrop Bel has unfortunately been replaced with a safetran type 3:(

To be fair, that bell sometimes sounded like it was struggling, as it would sometimes ring quite slow and skip beats. There's a video on here that was taken back in 2004 which shows the crossing in action, and the teardrop sounded *very* weak in thst video and couldn't be heard above the hybrid bell.......and that was 20 years ago!!

Nice video. Shame the bell no longer works, but it's impressive that it managed to last that long. Testimony to how well they are built.

Thanks. These bells are indeed built well so I think it’s possible that this bell would work again if serviced.

Good catch. At least it had a good run. Nice video as well

Thanks, I wouldn’t be surprised if the bell dates back to when they put the SG through in the early 1960s so in that case it has done very well to last so long.

@@redhen334 Sad thing is, it can probably even be fixed easily with some slight adjustments. But it'll most likely end up on the ground

@therailrangervmtg8658 yeah, I would be surprised if ARTC actually takes the time to try see what is wrong with the bell instead of just replacing it which would be way easier anyway.

I hope ARTC gives the teardrop Bell TLC so it does not get replaced by crappy safetran type 3!>:(

Thanks for the update, it was mentioned to me that the gongs can become loose on the teardrops and so the hammer won't hit it sometimes. Either it fixed itself or ARTC caught onto it before I uploaded this video. Hopefully whatever happened it will keep working until inland rail works eventually take it out.

Will be interesting to see what they do with the bell as it is quite heavy, and the signals are probably going to be replaced in a few years anyway because of inland rail. The other side still has a working hybrid so audible warning at this crossing isn’t totally lost.

Yep, this bell was bound to get replaced anyway as this crossing will probably get new signals during inland rail works.

I do not think new m bells are allowed on mainline crossings in Victoria apart from puffing billy crossings so that may not be possible.
