I have a few left over parts for Tyco Operation accessories and have ideas on how to re-purpose. I have the 40' CB&Q unloading boxcar mechinism and the body was roached. I had a idea on building a shed around it and use to load up 55 gallon drums. Seems as if the chute would need to be widen'd. Now, the piggyback tractor mech, no ideas yet!

Had an idea! I'll use the tractor's mechinism to push on a platform to load logs. I think its geared slow enough to where it won't toss anything around.

On the piggyback forklift, I'm trying to upgrade it to a psuedo mi-jack. Wouldn't require much work or conversion, my only issue is finding a small enough electro magnet that can lift up my 45 footers.
just me Ray... and just because I have Tyco doesn't mean I am not a model railroader
