Lionel #68 Inspection Car (Desoto wagon)
This Inspection Car was part of Daddy's trains and was the only thing with his trains in excellent condition. We had obviously never played with it on our layout in the '50s. I got it running good and played with it some and understand why. it stops on switches and has little play value.
MTH 30-2508 Operating Hand Cars
These hand cars are great runners and the bumper mechanisn trips an interior slide switch. When I set them up to bump against each it wouldn't work so I extended the bumper trips with 3 wire conductor cable and clear silicone wedged into place. (Note "droopy" extension on left.)
