I found this station at Round House South today and it was begging, " I need a bath and new home"   The only marking on it is a patent number,  Can anyone tell me about it,  what was inside it,  when it was made , do you have one like it ? etc.

 

This side is missing two corner columns and a couple windows.

The only thing missing on this side is the clock face.

Each end has a double bench and door.

The button on top of the clock tower pushes a Z shape rod down the use to activate something. 

 

This is looking at the bottom.

An update on my Noma station.

A big thanks to Jeff at The Train Tender,  I ordered the replacement window and clock inserts Friday afternoon and they arrived today.   The windows are green with silver foil back ground and self adhesive backing.  

I didn't use them all so if anyone needs just a couple,  I'll be glad to share.                                                          These are the leftovers.

The Noma station was a popular under the tree layout addition in the 1950's. It really added another dimension to a simple circular layout. The player consisted of a vinyl record, a battery operated motor, belt, turntable and stylus with a mechanical speaker. The rotating mechanism was cheaply made of, you guessed it Zinc, and when these were stored in damp basements or attics for the next holiday season the zinc had a tendency to deteriorate. The parts would distort making the record not playable. I had this station and when the sound unit broke I tossed it away. Still wish that I had it. The electronic sound board replacement that they sell today is supposed to closely mimic the original station sounds.
