My Railway Crossing Bell Collection - 500 Subscriber Special!

Күн бұрын

Here is a video I've been meaning to do for a while. This is my collection of railway crossing bells. I have six bells which I've collected since 2016. I thought since I reached the milestone of 500 subscribers I'd make a special video showcasing the bells I've got.
I have the following:
- Westinghouse Hybrid Bell (2nd Generation)
- Western Cullen Hayes Mechanical Bell
- Westinghouse Hybrid Bell (1st Generation)
- Two McKenzie & Holland Teardrop Bells
- Safetran Mechanical Bell
Thanks everyone who's subscribed! You are all legends, and I really appreciate your support for my channel and videos. I'll be bringing more of my usual content in the coming weeks
Background songs are:
'You Had To Be'
'Love Struck'
'Forget Me Not'
'Arabian Sand'
'Present Day'
'Book Bag'

I liked this for Amtrak, UP, BNSF, CSX, and NS locomotives!!! The SSC and WCH 2nd Mechanical Bells are great.

Great video Stuart. Your bells sound good and the overview of each bell is excellent and I’m glad that these bells, especially the Corigan Road teardrop have gone to a good home and not to the scrapyard. Congrats on reaching 500 subscribers! I’ll post a video of my bell collection soon.

Excellent video Stuart. I'll have to have a look and see what number is on my Westinghouse hybrid bell. My Westinghouse hybrid bell originally came from Ballarat and was used at Lydiard Street before it was replaced by a e-bell probably after 2010 but I'm not sure of the year

Nice crossing bells! The closest railroad crossing to me in my town has a US&SC teardrop bell and it has been there since at least the 1950's.

It is actually the one in the thumbnail of BNSF2184's video about them and the first one is in a nearby town.

Congratulations on 500 subs! You have a great collection of bells, just wondering is it safe to run the bells on the power supply? I'm thinking of getting one as electromagnets really drain my batteries lol. Also, I think your first teardrop shown has an older gong, as it produces an odd low pitched tone. This is similar to Moscript St and Nunn st. Also the Ivanhoe hybrid bell currently resides with me :)

@108CAM 3 жыл бұрын

It’s always good when you know witch crossings your bells came from.

@stuarthunt101 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks man :) yeah, it's safe as long as you don't overpower the bells, as in adjust the voltage to higher than recommended, which for my bells is 12 volts. Nice, I'd like to see a video of that one soon

Fantastic collection of crossing bells there stuart. Great that you got the teardrop from Corrigan rd. I wonder when it last rung for a train before you got it. Maybe it was as long ago as 1984 when that crossing got boom gates. I really liked how detailed this was and how much effort went into it and it turned out great!

Hi mate though i do not own one if i’m correct the cast iron mck&h teardrop bells had a 4 inch base (in the upper part of the newer version)and a removable larger adapter piece (maybe 5/6ish inches) which probably rotates. cool video btw and congrats on 500 subs🎉

Hey Stuart! I was just wondering if i could use your clip of your 1st gen hybrid ringing for my 300 subs special video? I will put “video credits to Stuart Hunt” in the clip, with a link to your channel in the description, is that okay? PS i did watch this video when you first posted it, i really really like how much info you have on each bell and they all sound amazing so fantastic work from me!
