I have added another trailer # 2 from another set to the Polar Bear set using the trailer bar that came with the handcar trailer set, a set of three trailers for the Kennicott Copper Company. Lee F.

Lee, I looked at the other handcar set that I just purchased and it is number 3 & 4 and is just like the one you described.

Move the huge big black transformer on a seperate platform at the height of the underside of the layout, that way that big thing doens't take a prior position on your layout. It's so beautifull made and when I see that overall view, there is a huge big ugly black thing drawing all attention towards itself. If it is a bit lower in front of the layout, your landscape will show much better I think.

Lee, that is just how we purchased it. Did not modify it one bit. We have another one that is different, but we do not have a photo of it. They are used at Christmas to run around a small tree in the hallway of the house.
Will try to post photos soon of my layout or motive power, don't hold me to a date, still learning about computers.

My simple offering comes from my recent business trip to Owatonna, Minnesota where I saw their power plant that reminded me too much of Lionel's Power Stations that I had too share it. All they need to do is change the Owatonna Power Plant to Lionel and its a pretty good match.

Maybe this is the prototype for the Lionel version.

Thanks, John
Yes, very nice pictures again everyone !! Here is my street by my Diner I've been working on. Got a pothole already !
