Railfan Technology > Need info on crossing bellDate: 04/29/15 14:22 Need info on crossing bell Author: dcfbalcoS1 I am needing to replace the electric bell on our G16 locomotive and have found nothing. Who knows where a 6" to 8" electric bell can be purchased that does NOT ring as fast as a machine gun or that can be slowed down and isn't exorbitantly priced?
Date: 04/29/15 19:03 Re: Need info on crossing bell Author: K3HX What kind of voltage and current is available to operate the bell? AC? DC?
The post title mentions a crossing bell (as one would see in the company of flashing lights on a stationary pole) but the text refers to a locomotive bell. Which is it? Be Well, Tim Colbert K3HX Date: 04/29/15 23:47 Re: Need info on crossing bell Author: MartyBernard A picture or two and all the specifications you have would help.
Marty Bernard Date: 04/30/15 13:00 Re: Need info on crossing bell Author: colehour Funny, just this morning I was thinking about some of the old towers that controlled crossing gates. Didn't some of them have a manually operated bell that was bell shaped rather than the round bells on automatic signals?
I realize that this is not what the original post was about, but thought someone might have some information.
