Time to "dump" this Lima into a post. Hadn't seen this one before the last show, not sure what it does or if it has a load associated with it, will have to research it. Anyway, a different little action accessory with this flip-up base Bulkhead flat.

My COTW is a Lionel HO radioactive waste car. One of the trucks is bust, so I will need to replace that.

I remember having that when I was a kid. It came with a small shack on one side of the track, and a bin on the other. In the shack was a lever. Raise the lever and a bar came up to make the car dump. There was also a (IIRC) Santa Fe baggage car that used the same station, but the car ejected small crates that were the same size as the Tyco CB&Q box car. Now that I think about it, I also had a....maybe Life Like yellow log dump car that also worked with this station too.

Thomas,
That is interesting, did the radioactive "bunk" slide back and forth with the worry of how you "controlled" your train, it was in?
Not sure on how that car looks and what it was or if that was just to "look at" if nothing else!
The truck you need is sprung too, so be sure to get a Betendorf 70 ton type truck to replace that broken one!

I just sold one of those on ebay 
The radioactive "bunk" is stationary. it has a red bulb inside it that flickers as the car is pulled (power coming from one set of wheels). Pretty cool car

A Redball Crane. Darn near complete and has sprung trucks. Just gotta install a few other pieces. Won't paint and probably just be a shelf piece! Just missing a smoke stack.

Well, I spoke of it so...My COTW:
This is a complete car, I have the trucks off of it, for storing it as the trucks in moving the box/bin its in, can and will break the trucks to it...So, I remove them to prevent that from happening!
This car, however, is up to another member of the forums here so......

Justin,
Is that a Red Ball or old Metal Athearn 200 Ton "Big Hook" Crane? I ask, as I also have one of them as well, which is basically a metal version, of Athearns plastic model!
