Strange Bing Wayside Station

Hi Lew, Graham Bilbe, commander in chief of the HRCA Mortimer group has one, I know, 'cause I sold it to him, but I cannot remember for the life of me if it was a German or English version. I'll speak with him and find out.

Hello Lew,

I do also have a German Bing version, but with some different advertisement:

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

And here is a picture of the English version (not mine):

Thanks gang for the research. Once again the lithographers are having a field day with variations.

Is there a French one?  What is Louget sharing the display with the Sunlicht Seife?  I'm surprised that the English one didn't have Sunlight Soap.

Lew

Beautiful stations guys, no matter what language.

Hello Lew,

Every few years the advertisements were changed. Bing and others have rented the space of the buildings. Long-built models have been changed several times. From the English Bing station 60/61 there are at least 5 versions.

Here a few small stations from Nurnberg

Bing German adverts

Bing UK adverts

Distler, German adverts

Distler, UK adverts

The stations of Bing and Distler are very similar, one had copied from the other.

Greetings

Arne's photos of course show several different wayside station styles. The Bing with German lettering has no ramps nor smokestack.  The Bing with UK adverts has ramps and a smokestack, but the Distler with  German lettering has ramps but no smokestack.  I assume that Arne's Bing examples have the Bing trademark.

I have a Fisher English wayside station with Uxbridge as the station name and the adverts in English, but is clearly labeled Made in Germany with a fish trademark.

What a very nice unique collectable.😊
