A red and cream (perhaps originally red and white) station ticket dispenser made by Bing for use with model railways.
Design
The dispenser is designed to look like a piece of station furniture, with red sides and back, a dark blue base, decorative white top, and three white dispenser areas with text printed in black.
The upper panel says "BOOKING OFFICE" / "BOOK DIRECT TO ALL PARTS", and there are then six ticket-holding areas, marked
- LONDON / OXFORD
- LONDON / DUBLIN
- DOVER / OSTEND
- VICTORIA / BRIGHTON
- LONDON / MANCHESTER
- ST.PANCRAS / LEICESTER
Tickets are loaded into each of the six sections, and can be slid out from the bottom to the stack, one at a time.
