Hi everyone. Would anyone have a catalog image and/or date information a station like this? Possibly even a market value?
Thanks so much! Ariel

Bing made this small lithographed tinplate station for the lower range of gauge 0 clockwork trainsets. It was not available separately, but the version with German lettering was included for instance in sets with catalogue number 11/3106 and 11/3107 for 1930.

Is that a photo of your own station? It is a nice one!
Fred - I know what you mean about the German (low platform) stations being offered in sets (I have the reprint Bing catalogs) I was wondering if this English raised version was shown in any catalog pages that anyone might have (?)
Tinplateart - This is not my station. I'm doing research. I do own the German (low platform) version though.
I have some Bing UK catalogs, but no one shows this station. Similar stations was made by many different manufacturers.
The market value is not high, all of the following station I have buyed for 20-30 Euro each (22-33 US$)
Bing UK
Bing German
Bing UK later 1930
Distler UK
Distler German
Hornby
Schumann
Brimtoy

For what its worth- picked up this Brimtoy station that is extremely similar to the station of which you posted a picture. That said, it's already been pointed out that many manufacturers made versions of these.

Arne,
Obviously you can't post pictures all of these stations- that said- would you, with your expertise, agree with the seller that my station is Brimtoy? Or do you think it's another manufacturer? There are no other markings on the station besides "Made in England". Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Steve
Steve,
your station was made by Wells, but between 1932 and 1945 they worked together as Wells-Brimtoy Ltd.
It´s Wells No. 29 "New Country Station" and was in the Brimtoy catalog 1933.
Greetings
Arne
Here's another wayside made by Fischer for the English market. The station stop is Uxbridge.I assume they are referring to the tube stop. Note the fish emblem. The signal is missing.
