Details
Bug fixed version!
A classic design used by the Swiss Railway (Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, SBB) © since 1944. Apple copyed 2012 for the iOS6. And i did now for the SL universe... Size = 0.5m Mod
Including a smart script simulates the RL behavoir from this clock in the swiss railway stations while waiting each full minutes for the next trigger impulse. Something for your eyes!

It's a pain to fix this thing
I wish I'd read the review where the reviewer warned that the minute and hour hands are swapped. It's a really cool clock, so here's how to fix it. I hope you know the build tools. For god's sake, don't unlink anything.
1. Right-click on clock, select 'Edit'
2. On the build panel, click checkbox 'edit linked'
3. Click on the second hand. It's a transparent cylinder which will prevent you from selecting the other hands, so move it completely out of the way, to one side.
4. Click the minute hand, resize the length. Guess what? The object is longer than the hand. There's some transparent craziness going on. You'll figure it out.
5. Do the same with the hour hand.
6. Click the second hand and then press control-Z. It will return to its correct position.
7. If you are like me, and prefer the logo-free version, figure out which way is up.
One extra star because if you resize it in three dimensions, it does not break!
There's something you should know
I bought this six months ago and couldn't figure out why it failed to tell the correct time as received, even for different versions among the four A, B, C and D provided. Finally I noticed the big hand was telling the hours and the small hand was telling the minutes. To fix, unlink and relink, for example, in the following order: hour (link 5), min (link 4), sekunden (link 3), Object (link 2) and Swiss Railway Clock B (Smooth) (link1).
