Updated video for my railway crossing equipment. Since the last video I've collected an excessive amount of new equipment. Most from family friends and facebook marketplace. This video did take me a while to film and edit so I hope you enjoy. If you have any more questions about any equipment leave it in the comments.
I am working on a Grange/Outer Harbour Line crossings video, so keep an eye out for that soon.

I'll now give a bit more of a detailed explanation about each piece of equipment:
Bells:
Black 2nd Gen Westinghouse Hybrid - I got it from a family friend along with a few other things, not sure of which crossing it came from. Originally when I got it the gong was so flat it almost didn't ring, it was also covered in bird poop, the internals were also missing all the wires and junction box. It now works great after some gong work and wiring work
Silver 2nd Gen Westinghouse Hybrid - Purchased from private facebook seller, it is exactly as I got it and works great! Again not sure which crossing it came from as refurbishment removed any unique markings.
1st Generation Westinghouse Hybrid - Received from same family friend. It worked when I got it however I'm not sure if it's my wiring or if it's faulty, but sometimes it does a single ring when powering on and does not ring. Originally I was going to film this bell at Ritchies Rd but it would not cooperate :/ When it does work it works great. Originated from Nagambie Locksley Rd, Locksley.
McK&H Aluminium Teardrop Bell - Purchased from facebook, it was a private offer. I got this bell right after I made my previous equipment video and it is unchanged from when I got it. I really love the sound of it and exactly what I wanted. Not sure where it came from although it may have been from the Castlemaine to Maryborough line.
WRRS Bell - I got this bell from Redhen334, I traded it with him for another teardrop bell which is now owned by him. The gong which is currently on it is my WCH gong, I swapped it for fun lol. I really like the door latch system, much more convenient and I am grateful to have this bell.
WCH 2nd Gen M Bell - My first bell, came from facebook marketplace and originated somewhere near Ballarat. The gong is swapped with my WRRS bell. It was refurbished by my grandfather.
WABCO Bell - This bell I also purchased off facebook marketplace. This bell originated from the Shanley St railway crossing in Wangaratta. It worked when I got it although it had a lot of cobwebs in the gong, I was also not able to remove the gong until much later. Now it works great though! In the video it sounds a bit weak but this is because I was messing around with the timing a bit by moving the contact, so check out my previous video to see a slightly better clip of it.
Safetran 2nd Gen Bell - Purchased from ebay, originated in America. Nothing much to say about this bell, worked fine when I got it and I painted it black and silver.
General Signals Type 2 E Bell - This was given to me by a friend. He purchased it originally from the VR Workshops and sold it to me. It has a volume switch on the underside of the base. I like this bell because it's quiet :)
Lights:
Westinghouse LEDs - Purcahased off facebook marketplace. Came without a crossarm. Nothing much to say.
Westinghouse Unmarked incandescent lights - I got this from the same family friend as some of my other equipment. May have originated from the Sunbury line. I used one of them for spare parts lol.
Westinghouse Marked incandescent lights - Purchased from Rustys Antique store in Rosedale. One is black and one is white. Originated from the South Gippsland Line.
Unipart LED Gate Light - Obtained from destroyed gate: www.google.com/maps/@-37.7780...
Signs: I got from the same family friend. These signs are:
-My signal crossbuck
-2 Tracks Sign
-Stop on red signal sign
-Keep Tracks Clear sign
Thanks for watching.
