I stopped at the Ellicott City VFD train garden display with my wife this past weekend.

She really liked this dump truck that backed up and tilted the bed.  She now wants to know where she can find these little displays.

Thanks!

That is a K-Line accessory and it is a great one!  My only, and this is not a world class suggestion, is to call the old K-Line dealers.   T&S in Bridgeport, Ohio had several K-Line accessories the last time I was in their store, but.......that was 6 weeks ago.

BTW, is the train museum at Ellicot City worth a visit?

Riveter,
Do you have the phone number?  It isn't coming up in Google or Superpages...

Thanks!

I also found a guy selling them on E-bay, though you may not be interested, I saved some pictures of them to maybe build myself later on. Here are a couple examples along with the mechanics . The 1st. makes the scoop look like it's digging deeper.

 

Here's how it works.

This shows a guy loading his car.

You hav eto build these into your layout.

Thanks, John

My mistake, it is TK in Bridgeport, OH.  I have purchased five Amtrak cars, a 180 Watt Brick and a Lionel Balloon Ride from TK.  The Chief stops there when he works the Cabela's shows in Wheeling and they ship his NS junk, errrrr,   I mean top notch premium quality stuff, to his home very reasonably.  The store is very close to I-70, which makes it convenient for travelers and of course parking is free.
