I'm on a roll now (glass of scotch and good cigar will do that to you). I've always had a soft spot in my heart for old Tyco stuff I remember as a kid where the logs got loaded on a car or a little guy pushed boxes on a car. I posted on this earlier. My question is whether there is 'semi-realistic" or current version of this type of 'action figures"? Again, the more general question is; does anybody 'automate' loading or unloading operations on their railroad and, if so, how do you do it? It seems as I read through stuff, most of the 'operational' aspects of a model railroad involve a fair amount of 'pretend' loading and unloading at a rail stop, factory or rail yard. Am i wrong about this? Is there such a thing as a modern, more realistic version of the little guy pushing a box with his forklift onto a flat car I remember from my youth? What options might I have for automating more of the 'operational' aspects of a rail line? Thanks again, Glenlivit & a Macanudo, nothing better except knowing how to change a light bulb
