    Josh you are right, the bell has a type two pitch. The electrical board inside the bell is labeled as type 1. Oh well??
    Hi Cute family, this project took many tries to get right. Me and my father actually built many tiny signals before this one. This is the first one that is totally automatic (gate included). It would not take long for us to build a second. The control system we used is a PLC witch uses ladder logic. If we were to do this again, we might try Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

    It’s cool but I think the bells should be attached to the crossing pole in the top and can also be detached.

  • @dougcraig646
    @dougcraig646  11 років тому +1

    Hi Taylor, the reason the bell stops is because me and David programed it that way (apparently the sound drives some people crazy - likely not a long road). I know that most Canadian railroad crossings don't have bells that stop when the gate reaches the bottom. There is a UA-cam video of a railroad crossing in Revelstoke. It is a three track railroad crossing and the bell that stops when the gate reaches the bottom. So, some railroad crossings do have bells that stop when the gate reaches the bottom.

      Yes you are right I live in Pittsburgh PA and mostly all of the bells stop ringing were I live

    • @jacobjones9498
      @jacobjones9498 10 років тому

      Christian Hickman It doesn't really bother me, in fact, I find it fascinating. In my area, here in WA, the bells here will keep you up if the train doesn't. Some times I think when I see videos from near there, Lucky. The only thing they really help with is just a bit more warning. Oh and, "Lucky."

    There are some canadian crossings where the bell stops. Not as many any more. My hometown of Grimsby Ontario had them in the 1960s. I'll take the original bell over the electronicone any day!

    Nice little signal you have here, but the GS bell is actually a Type 2. The type one as a higher pitch, unless you modified the pitch in a GS Type 1 to sound like a Type 2.
