Haven't managed to get hold of the owners again yet to check if they feel

feeling is that it is a 'new acquisition' to some little club, and that it
has been given to them after sitting long forgotten in an attic somewhere
for 20 years.

It's actually a British Rail "Train Arival Time Display". The stationmaster
pushes the button and a time comes up. When the train does not arrive,
he announces a delay and "a new time will be posted". He pushes the button
again and a new time is displayed.

This can go on for days before the passengers give up and go home,
or by some strange chance, a train actually arrives.
