A FEW
OF MY

MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS/PARTS/ACCESSORIES.
SOME ARE TRUE NOS (NEW OLD S

CK), SOME ARE LIGHTLY USED. I WILL DESCRIBE
WHAT IT IS THAT IS LISTED HERE BELOW IN GREAT DETAIL.
IF IT IS LISTED HERE ... IT WORKS AS IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO WORK!
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON EBAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THESE SCHUCO VARIANTO ACCESSORIES WILL BE NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY LIGHTLY USED, SCHUCO
ACCESSORY
NUMBER
3051
. THIS IS THE
IR "VERKEHRSAMPEL
"
WHICH TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH MEANS "
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
".
THIS IS A GREAT SECTION TO HAVE, IF YOU HAVE A CITY OR RURAL LAYOUT AS IT ALLOWS FOR TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP (AT THE RED LIGHT) AND WAIT UNTIL A VEHICLE OR VEHICLES PASS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE GREEN LIGHT! WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRAFFIC LIGHT, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH DOWN ON ONE OF THE WHITE POLES WHICH STICK OUT FROM THE REAR OF THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. WHEN YOU DEPRESS ONE OF THESE POLES, AT THE SAME TIME, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ITSELF, PIVOTS FROM A RED LIGHT TO A GREEN LIGHT AND THE FOUR (4) RED POLES IN THE STREET ALSO SHIFT TO EITHER ALLOW THE TRAFFIC TO FLOW ... OR TO STOP IT.
THIS SECTION CAN BE CONNECTED INDEPENDENTLY OF ANY OTHER SECTION(S) IF SO DESIRED. THE WIRE OR SOLID STRANDS OF TRACK WORKS WITH THIS TYPE OF TRACK SECTION. THIS SECTION NUMBER 3051 IS BOTH FREE STANDING, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO USE THIS WITH THE ORIGINAL CLOCKWORK VERSIONS AND HAS THE CLIPS SO YOU CAN LINK THIS UP TO A LARGER POWER SUPPLY (TRANSFORMER). SO HERE YOU HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!! THESE RED POLES ON THE STREET ARE DESIGNED TO STOP BOTH THE CLOCKWORK AND ELEKTRO MODELS OF THESE VARIANTO VEHICLES.
IF YOU DO OPT TO USE THIS AS A FREE STANDING INTERSECTION, YOU NEED TO PLACE TWO (2) SIZE "AA" BATTERIES INTO THE CONCEALED BATTERY COMPARTMENT (NOT INCLUDED). TO THE LEFT AND ON TOP OF THIS BATTERY COMPARTMENT, YOU HAVE THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH. YOU PUSH IT DOWN TO POWER UP THE LIGHT.
TO USE THIS WITH A LARGER "SYSTEM" (TRANSFORMER) YOU HAVE THE CLIPS ON THE SIDES OF THE BATTERY BOX FOR THIS APPLICATION.
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. ALL ORIGINAL TWELVE (12) STAPLES HOLD THE LID AND BASE FIRMLY TOGETHER. FOUR (4) HOLD THE LID WHILE THE BASE IS DOUBLED UP AT ALL CORNERS AND HAS EIGHT (8) STAPLES IN TOTAL. YOU HAVE A TINY TEAR ON ONE OF THE SIDES OF THE LID AND A SMALL SECTION IS MISSING.
THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE ARE ORIGINAL AND ALSO PRINTED IN THE U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY. THESE ARE NOT IN ENGLISH AND ARE ONLY IN GERMAN. IN THE LATER YEARS, THEY DESIGNED THESE TO BE IN MULTI-LANGUAGES. YOU ALSO HAVE A BASIC AND SMALL "SCHUCO VARIANTO" BOOKLET SHOWING THEIR BASIC STARTER KITS (3010K).
THIS SCHUCO VARIANTO
INTERSECTION
WOULD BE
A GREAT ADDITION TO ONES
COLLECTION
. AS NOTED ABOVE, TH
IS IS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION/ORDER. YOU DO HAVE SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR AND USAGE, BUT, YOU HAVE NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR ANY LITTLE SECTIONS BROKEN OFF WHERE THE WIRE TRACK CLICKS INTO THIS SECTION.
THIS HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION SINCE MY DAD BROUGHT THIS HOME TO ME AS A CHILD. THIS WAS OFF TO THE SIDE OF MY TRACK AND AS SUCH, THIS WAS OFTEN NEVER EVEN POWERED UP. EVEN THE LIGHT BULB IS ORIGINAL AND STILL WORKING!
ONCE AGAIN, TH
IS ACCE
SSORY
WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AND ALL VARIANTO SETS/KITS/ AND ARRANGEMENTS!
TH
ESE
ARE
MY BEST EXAMPLES
OF THESE ITEMS I HAVE
AVAILABLE TO ME
. I DO HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER ACCESSORIES THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS/MONTHS.
AGAIN, THE BOX IS 100% ORIGINAL AND HAS NO TAPE, GLUE OR MISSING ENDS, BUT, DOES HAVE A SMALL SECTION MISSING ON ONE OF THE SIDES. THE BOX IS PRINTED "MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY WHILE ALL OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS ARE "MADE IN THE U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY". THIS IS ALL ORIGINAL AND SHOWS THAT THIS WAS OFFERED DURING THE TRANSITIONAL TIME OF GERMANY'S PAST.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!
THIS 3051 IS FULLY TESTED AND WORKS PERFECTLY AND LOOKS
PRETT
Y NICE TOO! AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE SHOWN THIS POWERED UP IN TWO (2) OF MY PICTURES (THE LARGER PICTURES OF THE WHOLE INTERSECTION).
