Stazione con segnale acustico - Station with acoustic signal - Bahnhof mit Läutewerk [ENG]
let me introduce something nice, a "Stazione con Segnale Acustico", which was catalogued in the early '70's with Number 024. It's the well known Station of Lerino.
The station was entirely new when I received it and still wrapped in plastic foil. After some 40 years in the box I took it out for the first time. Something was loose inside.
To open the Station you have to remove 4 screws. Inside I found a G-motor and a bell. Here is a picture:
When the train passes by the weight of the train closes a circuit and the G-Mortor starts to turn the bell. Probably quite nice for children, but for a daddy like me rather annoying....
This is a variation of the same station building, with light signal. It's my mother's present, who as a vet, mid 70’s was at the agricultural fair in Verona. Incredible, after 45 years I saved the original box in very god condition. BTW, was LIMA-Bertain an import company of LIMA for France!?
