Japanese grade crossing bells

[bc6]

What are you guys using to simulate Japanese grade crossing bells.

I love the DFPlayer minis (you can get them down to a buck each shopping around) to do any audio playback. Simple and very versatile. They have a couple of watt audio output so you can go straight to a small speaker (and really boom it with a small sound box like a cut off plastic bottle). You can control from arduino or just use momentary closures from relays or switches  you can use it with no programming at all just wiring.

 

of course you need your bell audio mp3.

I’m using some light and sound kits from Micro Electronic Services:

Mine are  made for 1/80 scale, N scale kits are also available.

 

Cheers,
