Thanks mate! :D

[@LucusTheTrainGuy]

sad to see the type 1 ebell get replaced with a type 3😢

[@pengo34789]

Wait there was a Type 1 there before? Or was it a Type 1 Adjusted? Either way I wasn’t aware 🫤

@@pengo34789if you check on stuart hunt's video of this crossing(stuart hunt is a train guy too)or if you search "Pinguin boom gate" you'll hear the type 1's

[@LucusTheTrainGuy]

@@pengo34789if you go onto stuart hunt's video(a train dude)you'll hear the type 1 combo with a type 2 and if you search pinguin boom gate, you'll actually hear two type 1's(the crossing had two type ones 14 years ago)

[@pengo34789]

Wow, those Type 1's sounded pretty nice, sad that they were replaced because now Macaulay Rd, Kensington is the only crossing with Type 1's that I'm aware of
