There are a set of electromagnetic coils on the flasher relay, connected together with a top plate that goes to a pole in front of the two coils, with washers on it. This is what controls the flash rate. The more washers you take off, the faster the relay will flash.
Sure. I'll send you a message with a link to a page somebody created that describes how the flasher relay works, as well as how a complete crossing signal setup works.
No, not at the time. I really can't have any mechanical bells running around here, since I live in the city, with neighbors all around. If you check the other video, the one showing the mast signals up, I shook the mast, and the mini bell was running under manual power.
Thats How The Railroad Intersections is able to get signal and the gates go down :D

What makes the relay flash at the rate it does?
Thank you.

Could you ever post a detailed close-up view of the flasherelay?
I do not understand how the washers affect the flash rate.
Thank you.

It's really neet and especially in your back yard. The only thing you are missing is a diesel locomotive.

Is The Mini Bell Not Hoocked Up?
