Have recently added information, including package images and instruction sheet scans, to the Action Cars & Accessories area of the TYCO Trains Resource for the Operating Gold Mine, Grain Elevator, and Gravel Conveyor:
Always hated that the "gold" and "gravel" included were plastic beads from cheap necklaces available at the time. Complete with the holes in them to stick the wire through.
Weird they only offered the gravel dump set only one year before being replaced by the Nite-Glow ore. Same car and everything.
The early Gravel Conveyor boxes had taped-over section in the description. It appeared it was supposed to be as fully-featured as the Clementine Gold Mine with a dump car included as well.
The "grain" elevator was even more of a joke with the crates from the Freight Unloading/Mail Car Unloading Box car sets. Even as a young 'un I had to roll my eyes at that stuff.
