@@BaboSorany Als je het mechanisme van die dingen een keer van binnen gezien hebt weet je dat dat niet mogelijk is, en als het dat wel was zou het hamertje binnen no-time door het plastic heen gebeukt hebben en is het effect teniet gedaan :P .

Almost all other lights are incandescents as well ;) The whole crossing seems to be equipped with D-type gates, which are, as far as I know, the closest resemblance of the US-type of gates. That isn't strange as our whole railroad-crossing signalling system comes from the US and the Museumtram Hoorn-Medemblik probably relies on old gate-systems, taken from other places as new one are unaffordable for them. D-type gates can be recognized by the lowering of the gates that is severely slowed down at around 5 degrees left to horizontal position. To be honest, I think the bell is just worn out. The hammer probably starts moving, but only hits the bell after a few swings. Possible vandalism on the right gate-system probably does the rest in already silencing the low bell after a few 'dings'. There is another bell missing: the low bells are on the poles closest to the road, the high bells are located more to the outside of the crossing.
weeardguy The designs of the equipment seems to come from GRS and WRRS here. The higher-toned bells resemble, and sound a lot like, WRRS mini-bells. The lights also look like GRS XC lights without the logo (www.rxrsignals.com/Alabama/Courtland/Alabama/10.JPG ; full crossing: www.rxrsignals.com/Alabama/Courtland/Alabama/), and the gate mechanisms resemble that of a GRS Type-D gate mech, only with a lower mounting point for the gate arm supports (www.rxrsignals.com/Alabama/Attalla/Cherry/6.JPG ; full crossing: www.rxrsignals.com/Alabama/Attalla/Cherry/). I found an old railroad crossing safety PSA from the Netherlands that showed a signal with GRS XB/XD lights on it as well, and an extremely fast WRRS mini-bell, or at least equipment that used the same molds. Where's what the GRS XB/XD lights look like: www.rxrsignals.com/102/Signals/8/XD/ (As for the claim about them not existing in the US anymore, one crossing had a pair of them as of 2007, and may still have them, as was discovered recently; also Canada has at least one pair of them as well.)
Found this PDF file recently that seems to help strengthen the theory that GRS may have distributed equipment in the Netherlands: en.vrsrail.nl/dynamics/modules/SFIL0200/view.php?fil_Id=5564
It's probably not directly GRS-equipment: many things we imported from the US was tested here and when found adequate enough, it was eventually altered to Dutch standards and then made 'in license' as we call it here, by Machinefabriek Alkmaar (Machinefactory Alkmaar). The whole design was already there, we just built it with permission from the original US-manufacturer/designer. Cool file btw, I never saw it, though it is a Dutch company ;)
@@freebrickproductions I stand corrected. After quite a lot of research I recently found out we indeed relied on fixtures by GRS, the XC signals. The rear-lens was quickly abandoned.
Could very well be. Someone explained to me once what the material was these bells were casted from. It was something like a mixture of brass and bronze if I remember it right. Because of the tolerances and differences in the mixtures, no bell sounds alike ;) It's a pity I never did a recording of the crossing in my city: it had at least 8 mechanical bells, but all of them got replaced years ago.
weeardguy Interesting info! I know here in America some bells used brass gongs while other used cast-iron. Now it seems that they've swapped to Aluminum.
Yep and we certainly don't have those anymore ;) (the standard WRRS-bells that is) The mini-bells are completely the same I think: I heard multiple video's from WRRS bells and they sound exactly the same.
It's because the level crossings still equipped with incandescent lights have not been modernised when, somewhere halfway through the '90's or so, the infrastructural owner decided to change the flash rate from 45 flashes/minute to 90 flashes/minute. But incandescent lights hardly light at those flash rates (a good example is this one: ua-cam.com/video/HhnhXYN9ewk/v-deo.html This already old-fashioned type of crossing has got the flash rate set at 90. The red lights usually are LED, while the white lights usually were left un-altered. Probably down to costs (white LEDs that could equal bulbs were expensive in the nineties/beginning of 2000's) and their number (the amount of red lights is and was far greater than the amount of white lights). But as you can see, the white light is hardly visible. This is probably also the reason why incandescents were not converted to the new flash rate.
It does that few weeks I was born in Netherlands and always saw those barriers crashing down to the ground but you may thinking I creak Netherlands too? No I speak English, my parent move to netherland from Ullapool Britain they speak Netherlands lot but when In home is English
@@ralzvy Most likely not broken, but vandalised. The fact the other barriers come to a nice horizontal position indicates the pedestrian barrier has rotated on the axle it is on, most likely because chavs have hung on to it to get it down. As both barriers are driven by the same motor, they also go down together.

Would you be okay of I did a compilation similar to this, only with the bells I've recorded? I thought I'd ask since you did it first (or at least before me).
I like that when the barriers are going down the bells are loud
and when the barriers are closed the loud bells stop!

Those incandescent lights at 7:50 are cool too. They go nicely with the mechanical bells there.
It's one of the Netherlands' strangest crossings ;) No real-tram/road crossing here has gates and signals like that ;)
weeardguy Either way, I'm glad the signals have survived.
They flash a lot slower compared to the LED’s that replaced them. Similar speed to the Railway crossings in Australia and US.

Superb videos
wat leuk is bij deze overwegen is dat als de lampen aangaan meteen de bellen beginnen te loeien. Bij de elektrische bellen gaan ze eerst zacht.
Dat komt omdat je een mechanische bel ook moelijk 'zacht' kunt laten bellen ;)
een kussentje tussen de bel?
Soms doen ze er schuimplastic tussen
Niet:sssssssst! Wel:rambambambambambam

Het lijkt vrij gevaarlijk om twee treinen gaan in aparte richtingen op één spoor te hebben. Er moet een splitsing in de tracks die we niet kunnen zien op de camera zijn.
als je de eerste video bedoeld klopt dat. Je hoort als de overweg open is de wissel omgaan voor het andere spoor.
Wyatt Smith Ja is ook bij Darwindreef (Utrecht Overvecht)
Bij 36:00 gaan de fietsers al rijden terwijl de spoorbomen nog niet om hoog zijn!!!
Niet om dit gedrag te verdedigen, maar dit was een enkelspoorweg, er is dus geen risico dat er nog een andere trein van de andere kant komt.
bij Saba (4:51) is nu de bel aan de voorkant bij het fietspad vervangen door een elektronisch bel

Pretty neat how the one light at 17:30 is incandescent. Also, how the one working low-toned bell there operates is weird.
