I picked up this boxcar and the activator seperately. I still haven't got them operating on my layout. What's the green thing at the bottom of the picture? It was in the box with the activating track.

Possibly a backstop to keep the crates from flying away? Might be a piece missing there, The unloaded crates have to go somewhere. I'm missing the whole switch n' track piece myself, I have two of the unloading boxcars.

Hi burlington77,
Looks like you are missing a part for you activator track. the missing part is outlined in yellow in the picture. The little green part could be from something like the item outlined in red, though i'm not sure on that.

The green thing is a drop door for a Tyco light green / blue ore dump car. Check Mytyco's pic, Tyco accessory 925, you can see the door down with ore being dumped on top of the door.

Ken, you could open an HO scale coupler museum. Very cool to see all of the different types, especially when horn hooks had all manner of steel springs.

Those MDC automatics look interesting too. I'm guessing they aren't Kadee compatible.
