My son is nearly four, and loves watching these videos. He is especially interested in the different types of barriers and bells. I also find them very informative, which is lucky, because we watch them often! Thank you very much for putting together all this information and sharing it with us.
The AGA bell is very rare in finland, there is only one left and it's considered very cool in the country and is constantly a popular crossing among the train spotters in finland it also has the rare EKL light system
The EBA e-bell is no longer found in New Zealand, as far as is known. The only crossing known to ever have them has now been upgraded, now featuring the standard WC-Hayes E-Bells from the USA. The EBA bells were in situ there for a long time, possibly some of the first E-Bells in NZ. Most likely they were an experiment by KiwiRail on what to buy before eventually settling on WC Hayes. ruclips.net/video/oeBtO9VMI4A/видео.html
really high quality educational video, interesting stuff i'm from poland, and all polish crossing equipment and systems initially derived from swedish L.M. Ericsson, so im kinda familiar with those designs, especially JEGD gates and KLD bells also i never knew that sweden still used relay based systems and only now starts to implement computerized crossings, in poland first computer based crossing system (SPA-2B) was installed in 1991
I just noticed the sweedish crossing types are extremely similar to hungarian crossings. The difference is that sweedish crossings are maintained, thereby in Hungary, the flashing white light is not optional
I’m pretty sure they are since I know some examples installed in 2020 and ALEX still is only in testing phase. Regarding Serbia, this is what I’m basing it on: www.rxrsignals.com/Phpbb3/viewtopic.php?t=5051
@@mansnylind-alevelcrossings6033 I believe that the KLD-43 mechanical bells are no longer produced. In Poland, the situation is similar with the JEGD-50 gates. They are installed to this day, although their production ended around 1997. The gate mechanisms are simply installed after a general renovation, which is carried out by various companies, e.g. Przedsiębiorstwo Automatyki Przemysłowej, Monat, SPAI Katowice etc. Although they look brand new after renovation, they are actually old and are 20-30 years old. Swedish KLD-43 bells, after dismantling, are surely sent to other companies that carry out their renovation, e.g. metal parts are sandblasted and the breaker contacts are replaced with new ones.
@@LiniaKolejowa207iinne He’s actually not sure either, but he also think it’s possible. If that’s the way it is, Bombardier was probably contracted for the refurbishment

9:46 The Friedland Masterbell sounds similar to an Efacec M-bell
Cool video tho

Indeed, especially these with vertical crossbucks. Btw, they’re getting even more similar:

9:54 like sounds Norway crossing railroad
It has the same type of bells
9:11 these bells can be found in Nora järnväg and almunge järnväg
8:27 Are you sure KLD-43 are still produced?
Where are KLD-43 located in Serbia?

@@LiniaKolejowa207iinne That's possible, my claim comes from a friend who collects level crossing equipment. I'll check with him

what is the rarest bell in sweden?
I think this: 9:12
So sweden got more types of gates
Also known as barriers
Good video 📹 and good catch
Why are Assa gate drives painted green in sweeden? I have one in my garden, i live in switzerland tho and they are still widely used here
They’re probably made of regular steel and not stainless, so painting is necessary. I’m not sure why the chose green though
Åssa* Assa is keys and locks
part 3?
8:50 it looks more like Finland
It is in Finland (Turku)
