This seemingly unbroken piece came with a Tyco stock loading ramp that I got. I'm not sure it has anything to do with it. To me it looks like some sort of bumper track that for some reason has some metal pieces in it maybe with some sort of activity purpose? Printing on the piece reads "TYCO Made In Honk Kong". Small enough, I suppose it could be N scale?

End of track bumper. Sits between the rails. Is or was lighted at one time, judging by the brass contacts.

Do they work Ben? I mean, does a car bumping into it trigger the light very readily?

Is the business end spring loaded? It almost looks like it is.

(I dunno what to call that part, except the thing not to hit.)
