I need some help identifying these, I'm looking on info on manufacture, configurations, ect. I have no idea what you call it besides "Caution High Speed Trains" sign.
From what I can tell....
There are stand alone - non powered units, by Marx?g~~60_57.JPG)
Electrified unit --- I guess a bell sound or something?
Ones with physical bells:
And then....this guy.... That i think has a swinging arm (manual?) and bell???
Any of these come with lights? What are these called? anyone have any photos of ones in use?

I believe they are Marx.
yes sir, all made by Marx. really nice acessories.I have the one with the bell.
Looks Like the "Electrified' One used to have two lights. So, now I Know their Marx, anyone know what model # or what they are called?
pic #1 not working
#2 409 twin light blinker caution crossing signal
#3 414 bell ringing crossing signal
#4 417 bell ringing crossing signal with crossing arm
Dave, thank you.
Know any good source for old Marx stuff. Tried flea bay and DASH ...
EDIT: Am I correct #4 the crossing arm is manual?
the copy of the Marx instructions I have show track connections, so I would think the arm is electricly activated.
Steve Eastman(fourm member) usually has some Marx for sale,and there is a Mars yahoo group, with a seperate for sale page.
and I've had good luck on e bay. If you're avalible in June, there is a Marx convention and swap meet in Wheeling,WVa.
