I bought a box of junk, bits and pieces of everything in it, even some Lincoln Logs. Anyway while searching through the box I came across this item. After fiddling around with it I finally fixed the wiring and got it to work. Now I know what it is. how many of you know what it is?

This was a standard in TYCO Chattanogga sets
Recently had sane problem train stuff with other things in it from action figure pieces to a Spiderman slot car set
(The strangest thing I found yet was an unused 45 Caliber Bullet)
There should be two cardboard prints of Maxwell house and Payday candy Also two green parts to help the bill boaRd stay up i HAVE ONE OF THOSE PARTS Also a pushbutton controller got those too

This was deliberately turned on its side to obscure the cardboard prints, I would think, since retiredalex was playing a guessing game with us. As for the controller, it's simply out-of-shot.

That's all I got. No paper inserts nor the push button controller. I have a couple of Tyco operating accessories that need the push button controllers. They seem scarce.

Well, naturally. They weren't sold separately from the accessories after all. And considering the fact that the most likely source for such damage is children combined with the callousness of non-hobbyist parents, most of the ones torn off probably got thrown away.
