BLI Y6b broke

[GM50 4164]

I would love to see a video of your Y6 hauling that many hoppers! That sounds like an awesome sight to behold.

Every time I post a photo taken with my phone it shows up up side down. I imagine a video would do the same but I would like to post one.

Post the video to YouTube and then link it here

You can't upload videos directly to TRW anyway.  They have to be hosted elsewhere.

I am way way sidetracked with other things at the moment, but I will say that I've been very impressed with my Y6b so far and will almost certainly be giving it an "A" rating when I do finally get around to writing a review.

I see that BLI lists "Type A" and "Type B" mallets - the former with a "Standard Bell Ringer" and the latter with a "Prime Bell Ringer". Can anyone tell me what that all means?

Thanks,

Wow, this might be a mystery for the ages. Not even BLI has supplied an answer

Does the bell on one of them have a tiny cylinder? If so that would be an "air-ringer" instead of pulling a rope.

[spookshow]

Is there a cylinder on one of these?

"Standard" -



"Prime" -



Thanks,

It looks to me like the bottom one does not ring by swinging back and forth, so it would be rung by a cylinder-driven striker hitting it.

The air powered prime bell ringer would all be mounted inside the bell and be too small for n scale.

This was the cylinder I was thinking of:

But same idea, inside or out.
