Hey Ben:
Like this;
Btw, there is a Tyco/Mantua one as well! 
Also I'm creating a little pile of stuff I think you'll be interested in....
I wanted to ask you if you had a BN searchlight car?

What'cha got to trade for a BN searchlight car? I have an extra, missing the plastic front spotlight "lens", but otherwise complete and nice shape, and has all the railings and stove pipe intact, too.

Actually what I was going to suggest to Ben was if he had a searchlight car that wasn't BN, I'd happily send him with other stuff my cars BN "Shack" for any other road he has since I'd be repainting it into CP or CN MOW scheme anyway...

So, we'l swap a Pennsy for my BN one? By the way I found those BN semi trailers to go in your eventual parcel I'll likely just send the shells though cause I'll want a couple back of any road since they'll be painted....
The Searchlight is going to go into a Trainset I'll put together for some kid....

Yes that first photo that started this thread is a IHC flat with crane. In what is listed Lionel and Rivarossi is not there. Lionel's first crane car was made for them by Rivarossi. After that it was a Athearn car.

Also, those couplers. IHC advertised them as " Magic Couplers that allows both use with hornhook and modern knuckle couplers".

I love them couplers and place them on Locomotive tenders so I can run cars that have Knuckle couplers. And still run the X2F type.
* Here is a Atherrn Crane car. It is Union Pacific.The Pennsy I have is painted the same color. The Lionel one is Gray.

I cant find a photo of a complete Lionel crane car, BUT ! Here are two cars I made from crane cars I found at a show without cranes. I made a crane car, and crane tender car keeping the original Pennsy road name with Lionel lettering.

* being a pennsy guy I jusy put a keystone over the UP on my crane. didn't change the number.
* With the derrick car. Athearn and lionel use one set of parts, tyco mantus use another. Two different cars that look kind of the same.
