Ooops posted my picture in the wrong thread.

They are actually very old LGB handswitches I'll post a comparison picture tomorrow. I got them in a lot with the 4001 train. Which was from the late seventies

I didn't get the playtrain :sadklicky:. But on the other hand, Yesterday I was in one of those triftstores and got a half complete trainstation 4300.It was only 7,75 euro and was taped together with some horrible plastic castle. The polish lady at the register could not comprehend that I wanted to leave behind the plastic castle and only take the 4300's parts with me:"But you have paid for it!!".

Here is are the comparison pictures of the switches. On the black box of the old switch it says "1208 LGB ELECTRIC" but I opened it up and there were no electric connectors on the inside.

Thanks for posting the pic. It does look like an electric switch drive, but without the wire connections. The great thing about LGB parts is that they last forever.

What's the point of going, if you can't get there on a train?

I have uploaded a few more pics. I am currently running a Faller goods train with the bell wagon at the end. The bell wagon has a spring trigger that hits track contacts. The trigger hits a metal bell inside the covered gondola. I was able to find this car with the track contacts and it's original box. It's really fun to play with!

Here's a link if interested:

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Thanks Rasputin! Looks like I missed out on that one. The autoland sets are really great.

Congratulations, HC!

That intercity bus is a real beauty !!!

The house is also cool. I would love to see it beside Playmobil's 4207. Wonder if they are both about the same size?
