Here is a gantry for loading containers or trailers onto flat cars. It seems to be missing the truck ramp and something that goes on top of the grabber, on the right. I couldn't find this in the Tyco reference but maybe didn't know what it is called.
If anyone wants the grabber or other parts, I can break it down and mail it to you.

OK, I'll send it. decal is missing from one side of the container, but maybe you can scan it and print one on your computer.
Have you seen this before? What is it called?

Piggyback Loader/Unloader
the early version used a big forklift to lift the trailers off or on the flatcars
Hey you want me to send a extra $5 with the $20 I owe you?
Am always looking for those Matchbox containers for my trucks & Matchbox container ship

There is a shed on the mechinism and a bumper. Common missing parts.

If I had a choice to have an endless supply of only one accessory to include with the train sets I put together and give away to kids this would be it...

I have one. Good for static display becuase the forks can;t grab a trailer and hold it! If Tyco made the forks longer and grabbed at the floor, it'd fair off better.
