ABSTRACT:
A number of miniature passenger figures and/or other objects are disposed along the loading platform of a toy train station awaiting arrival of a train. When the train stops at the station, a control switch is operated to swing the passengers upward to a hidden area under the station roof. When the train leaves the station, the passengers are no longer in view on the platform and appear to have boarded the train. A reverse action simulates the detraining of passengers when a train arrives at an empty platform. The passenger figures are mounted along a common base plate having a vertical lift bar connected by a linkage and slide plate mechanism to a dual coil electromagnetic drive. A controller actuates the drive and linkages to swing the plate and passengers upward through an arc to a horizontal position under the roof out of view. The controller and drive also return the passengers to the platform for the reverse sequence.
