nice score Buss! hopefully you can get it to work.
My AOTW is this Tyco Operating Piggyback unloader. Haven'd had one of these since I was like 10.

Ooh, I got one of those last year. Works very nicely, although non-Tyco trailers have to be modified to work with the short forks.

Flying DeLoreans! I'll hang it over my layout when I build it some day.

Love those DeLorean's. My AOTW is a couple of trailers for flat cars. Or for use on a layout parked at a building. Either way.

 Nice Trailer Unloader. When I was ten I wanted to build these insanely long trains and I still love the chunky, low scale look of Tyco. My AOTW are those cheesy plastic loads for gondolas that are supposed to resemble gravel and coal. I had numerous gondolas, but few loads, but several different guys on the TF hooked me up right quick. This is my cheesy plastic load collection. Thanks, guys! This train ran for four hours, earlier this week, and never derailed once!

Could not find the meaning of Lokempfanger. Lenz is a top of the line DCC system made in Germany. They helped Bachmann develop there DCC system. Go to https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=TT for translations.

That, and the layout is the El Paso Model Train Club. Train is mine.
That street cleaner is sweet!
Thank you for clarification on the German "fortgeschrittenen Modellbahner. " I was thinking it mean "forgetful model rail bangers," sort of like CRS syndrome.

Lokempfanger = Loco engine Handegler = hand held
Anyway its a DCC device & Lenz was the one that helped Bachmann get into DCC
