MARTINDEN: This 'older' guy appreciates your "FTR". I'm still learning. Many thanks.

Just FTR, the 132 has the train stop feature, but the 133 does not -- it's the same station, illuminated but without the train stop feature. (Also, the chimney on the 133 is green, same as the roof, rather than being painted brick-red as on the 132.) Finally, the 115 Lionel City station (big off-white sheetmetal urban design) also had the train-stop feature, as did several prewar staions, several prewar trackside signals, and also the postwar 253 signal.

I think red or green trim is the differance and yes they do have the start stop control.
I have the 6-34115 late version with the red trim reproduction with the terrace.The start stop feature is adjustable. I think the start stop control can be bought separately.

There is both a 132 & 133 station that works this way. Not sure what the difference is.

By the way there is one of each up for bids on ebay right now. If you check the listings it will give you some info even if you don't want to buy.

I believe the Lionel 133 Station has this feature.

Can't remember -Need help
Posted by traindaddy1 on Wednesday, May 3, 2006 4:41 PM
Hello, it's me again! I read about it....Wrote it down.....But, can't remember what I wrote or where I put the note. Please help. I am looking for the device that stops the train at the station, waits awhile and then allows the train to proceed. (Lionel O27 tubular track - using older ZW transformer) One thing I DO KNOW is that you know. Many thanks for your help.
