Hello fellow collectors.

I recently won this KBN House on E Bay which was shipped from Argentina. I've not seen anything like it in www.spur00 or www.tischeisenbahn, so I wasn't sure if it would fit in with the Bing layout I have.
It doesn't have a base, and it has a round hole in the front. I can only think that the hole is for a clockwork key that would fit into some sort of mechanism inside. Unfortunately if there was one, it isn't there. It measures 11 cm across, 4.5 cm deep and 9cm high.

Has anyone any idea what it is? Is it part of KBN's model railway, or is it what is left of a novelty toy?.

Thanks,

Geoff S

Hi Geoff,

This building is from the automatic turntable railway Gauge 0 from the late 20ies.

Heres is a picture from the 1927 catalogue



The buildung was also used on a base, see here (at mine the semaphore is missing)

Bahnhofsviertel
