Looks much better than it did in those pictures at the top. It must really look gorgeous in real life. The model I mean.

I'm not sure that bell is meant to have a rope. There's what looks like a pneumatic line running to it. It may represent an air-powered bell like the one in this picture:
This bell is on a Frisco Russian Decapod at the Illinois Railway Museum. Sorry for the grainy picture. It's cropped from a photo of the entire engine. I have seen it in person, though, and there's a little cylinder with a plunger popping up and down. That moves a linkage to ring the bell. I don't recall there even being a rope.
Carpe Manana!

"Automatic Bell Ringer" it is called I guess, by the way I saw the pneumatic line!
it was just a joke because the engine is so well detailed! - Erich

 Those are nice engines. I've seen locos very similar to that at my local hobby shop.
