I have one on my current HO-scale model railroad layout! Since I mostly use nickel-silver Bachmann E-Z Track, I put the Prestomatic ramp on a 1/4-inch styrofoam section (from Woodland Scenics) cut to fit underneath and made up in the same landscaping material as the railroad yard I installed it on, and Mehano track-clips to link the E-Z Track with the 9" Atlas Code 100 nickel-silver track section on the ramp. I also upgraded the boxcar with knuckle couplers and metal wheels for better performance, as I do with most of my old TYCO freight cars.
I love those Tyco action accessories. I grew up on them during the 1970's and 1980's. Thanks! I got the log unloader at the train show in 2021. The three logs were too 'heavy' for the system so I sub them with lighter batch of doll sticks
Super. Someone someday will hook this car up to the rails, add a DCC decoder, and be able to unload boxes anywhere. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Kinda would be nice if these kinds of accessories were still being made for the modern Model Railroad Track Systems like Bachmann.
I love this train car It's so cool how they made it so actually unloads boxes

Fantastic video! Thanks for letting me narrate!
Nice video... but it would have been nice to have seen it drop more than one box and to see you load the boxes into the car
Great vid I have a lot of old tyco accessories on my layout my favorite is this
Needs update on that shipping seller man
Well done🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇨🇦
When penn central never derails on horseshoe curve 😮
Keep up the great work, the mail car is really neat
Never knew Tyco made a lift bridge 😳
That bridge was made by Bachmann.
I want the US Post Office version!
which for some reason is worth alot
VARV NARRATION 😳😳😳👀👀👀
I only have bridges and a railroad barrier.
I just have the train car
You probably could find one at a train show.
Does this run on DC or AC?
@@davidandrew477 it’s controlled with AC.
