Willy is crazy for fun stuff Lol xD it’s alright

Thanks! I do too.

Thanks! I’ve had that bell since January, but still, thanks!

Only 2 things that are different: 1) it's the left side 2) the sign says "RAILWAY CROSSING" instead of "RAILROAD"

@@bentheswitchsportsfan06 um and there are some exclusive bells to both for example: Australia has Barker Technics and Westinghouse and some teardrops USA: RSI Safetran type 2 and more

From what I've discovered, that rectangular crossing sign is common throughout Australia, even at unprotected (unsignaled) crossings. Pacific Electric did invent the wig-wags, evolving them from motorized to magnetic (two magnets moving an iron paddle back and forth, with limit switches to stop and reverse direction) operation. Wig-wags were banned by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for new installations years ago in favor of flashers and gates. Today you have to go to museums to find them in the U.S.A. Still, good video.

Thanks!

National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide.

It's a great place to go if you come to SA

It seems like the general design has been kept the same during the mergers and rebrands that led from Griswold through to Safetran. Safetran made the biggest change, changing the base design to be a bit more basic.

You’re welcome :)

Yep! Australia imports nearly all of its crossing equipment from the US. Just wish there were a bigger variety of lights here, especially 12 inch lights.

@@redhen334 Man we need to send you some WC Hayes LEDs and other stuff now on crossings. Near me there's a railroad crossing and it looks like its a full WC Hayes crossing. WITH a cantilever.

We have some WCH LEDs here, they’re mostly in NSW though. My state mostly has United Group Limited and Westinghouse LEDs.

@@redhen334 kk

Me!

Check the pinned comment.

Most of the bells are the same ones they use in the states. Yes those are wishbone arms and they still use them in Perth, Western Australia and Melbourne, Victoria. Everywhere else in Australia uses flat gates.

I like those wishbone gates

yep

@@redhen334 What happened anyway?

Accidentally applied a feature that froze the video during editing.
