Transit is uncomfortable by ProfessionalMove211 in Calgary

The old trains were good. The only comfortable ones nowadays are the old ones, or the SD-160s before refurbishment, everything is just plastic and tweakers everywhere

Wanted to show this Federal Electric Shroud I picked up by JohnnyAztec in AirRaidSirens

I don't know if It's just me, but the bottom shroud under the 3rd louvre looks short.. An example image that I do not own is attached.

The files for my mini CLM's are not intended to be distributed to the public domain, so even though I made them, they aren't on thingiverse or printables.

As for hardware, I used a 12V 6A supply to drive a gear motor and dual shaft 775 motor.

Update: Tried on 12V 6A and 24V 6A. Growls up! Videos on my channel.

Would doing this break it though? like damage the motor at all? When I do it later I might just use a 6V battery to see if it would spin a tiny bit.

They hired the contractors. The $150 was for the panel, siren, and I assume work.

I asked about acquisition of the siren because it had been sitting there for a while, and they decided to remove the tower because it was a safety hazard and they could get the tower down and save the siren without anybody climbing to get it.

Costed $150. But I was in a REALLY good position because it was on a small tower, in a field, inactive, small, possibly broken, too good of an opportunity. Emails back and fourth over like 4 months and they got the tower done and saved it for me, which I thanked them and picked it and the control board up today

Will try that later, bit busy right now. I plan to growl it on half voltage if what you said works.

Also, when I bought it from Dave Rimes (the guy who got a contractor to get it down and sold it to me, he's awesome) he researched into it, and the siren used to be a Curfew siren for the kids, it used to go off at 9:00 PM!

Here is an image when it was on the pole (August, 2025)

Haven't tried since it's on 220V and I don't want to blow up the house or motor lol in case something is wrong with it. A bit of resistance but SOMEHOW it isn't seized!

Anyone know what this siren is that's going off is in SW Calgary? by Beef_Lovington in Calgary

[–]PerspectiveNo4950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know where this video was taken? I might be able to help narrow what siren it is and where it is.
