Bells were used to secure grade level crossings. For this purpose, stationary signal bells evolved - see (and listen to) video. Based on a quick research, I understand that only branch line steam locomotives were required to be equipped with bells due to unguarded grade level crossings, and that only a limited number of mainline steam locomotives serving branch lines had bells. Thus, no BR 85 bell ... P.S.: Besides, German steam locomotives had and used whistles. Edited by user 22 October 2023 16:24:09(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
