For us Americans, some of our old analog and hybrid bells sound with a quick pace, as more often than not, we’re familiar with fast bells. Cheers from America, mate!
I am disappointed that so many new Safetran Type 3s are already failing in Australia. I haven't seen much video of American ones so I don't know if they have the same problem over here. I do know that the General Signals type 1s on crossings near me are still healthy, so I guess the Australian weather took a toll on them. I've seen quite a few American crossings intentionally go completely silent once the gates have lowered, but all the Australian ones I have seen do so due to faulty bells.
Siemens/Safetran Type 3's can last anywhere between 2 weeks and still alive, some factors include how the crossing is wired, there's one crossing in Lara, Victoria which has killed over 10 ST3's in the last few years, this signal probably has some sort of wiring fault that needs to be addressed. The most faulty part of an ST3 is the speaker, so it's a mix of a whole lot of things. Another reason there is so many faulty clips of them here is because Australia is chockers full of them, its like some area's of America with NEG's but worse. Funnily enough, the first GS1's to be installed in Australia are the last GS1's to exist on a crossing lol! GS1's are built quite well, they have outlasted a lot of GS2's here.
6:15 (this part is correct I'm assume) the bell shat itself while the crossing was still working. Information below this is incorrect besides the edit of this comment Not actually a failure. Crossings can be programmed to have the bell ring and then have the bell shut off after the gate is down and not come back on And I think the Pedestrian Alarm is always on. That particular one looks to be an export and rebuild of an older American Crossing Edit:I know nothing on Australian Railroad crossings btw I'm assuming most are exported American crossings
I've filmed the crossing before, and on other activations the bell stayed on the whole time, it just gave up that time, so it failed. Vic crossings work different then American crossings
Majority of australia's lights are made by Westinghouse which is an australian company and they only made 8in lights. South Australia has some 12in lights.

7:02 most American safetran hybrid bells do that
I find it entertaining to hear so many different sounds from these bells. It always leaves me thinking, 'What sound will it make next?'.

0:00 & 0:22 USA Type Bell
On 13:52 it sounds like ireland.
0:06 I like how on the left railway crossing is one side LED and Incandescent bulbs on the other side
The general Singals type 2 & 3 had been cursed in some crossings in Australia by magic with Harry Potter
2:11 sounded like a freight train
3:42 look on the right do you see the difference *THEY HAD 1 JOB XD*
9:17 those are actually a gs type 1.5 (pitch between type 1&2) and gs type 2.5 (pitch between 2&3)
Interesting video Tazzie! Very nice nonetheless!
Seimens sounds like a dieng duck. General signal is the best. Q: Why the wimpy toot-toot even on the fast trains?
5:05 i like the sound of that horn, whats it called?
I like your videos
Jacob said that you have to go to bed 😂😂😂😢😅😂😂

Why did the trains at the randomly failing hybrid part have two different trains??
At 5:26, that failing gs1 should be replaced with a gs3 or safetran type 3
Funny story, it got replaced with a GS3 and my mate got a hold of it, I bought it off him so it’s mine now lol
I once heard the gs1 turn on then off and back on when the gates were down
@@tomhenry6440 oh lol
It just went "Ding diding dingdingdingdingdingding".
Nice scratchy GS3
This railroad crossing shut down is funny hahaha🤣14:35
1:44 lol there’s a UK e bell there.
8:20 christmas bells
Great video ! :)
Nice video mate
Cool video.
By the way, your description has 19:14 instead of 9:14.
At 7:03 it should be "After not working for the first 10 seconds it starts working randomly out of NOWHERE" "knowhere" is not a word
no one cares bro shut up

wish i got into this stuff sooner before the level crossing removal project :(
Same, missed the first 35 removals :(

The GS type 3s sound like a WCH E-bell
These hurt my brain in different ways than the working ones i heard inside.
13:14 seems like it's flat too
The 2nd level crossing bells sounds like a duck 🦆 🐤🐥🐣🐤
Lol fr
Another day you will record the pedestrian signal with the st3
Question, can this noise be blocked by double glazed windows at buildings right next to them ?
The GS3 sounds like WHC
7:30 the top train signal crossing lights aren't synced to the ones closer to the ground is that normal?
yep, running of multiple relays
Most Victorian crossings do that. Look at Forest street Wendouree, those are shocking
So in the whacky gs1 actually it was a asc e bell
13:56 that bell can't ring
2:07 sounded strange
The first one sounds like a GS prototype
The Scratchy ST3 Sounds Like Frog The Other Side Is Good
6:52 why the crossing sounds like czech
same kind of noise it makes but different companies
Video link for slow hybrid?
11:48 sounds so ominous for some reason
Typo: TS1, for the dying GS1 that has been replaced.
Oops!
It’s ok! I spotted that after like a week
When did you film the xpt?
April 2021
Need a little guitar (it sounds like Mississippi Queen) 16:27
why does Australia only have 8 inch lights?
Majority of australia's lights are made by Westinghouse which is an australian company and they only made 8in lights. South Australia has some 12in lights.
WA to, QLD is full of them and MSW has 1 crossing with them.
For some reason fast hybrids sound better

You certainly don't understand how level crossing gates work and there in-built safety systems.
