I am trying to locate the polls that activate this car but can't find a number for them.  I only have found the telltales for the Wabash car (3424-100).  They don't look like the ones needed for the 3376.

Tell Tale pole:  3424-77

Tell-Tale Rod:  3424-79

Tell-Tale:  3424-78

Base plate:  3424-80

The cams actually actuate the cam follower to make the Giraffe duck.

Cam Plate Assembly:  3376-105

thanks for the info kurt.  Are these things hard to find at shows?  I was planning on going to a few in the next month or so.

Kurt, will any of this work with Fastrack?

No.  The origional won't work with fastrack.  I purchased mine online.  I have not looked for these at shows, so I can't tell.

The baseplate slides and hooks onto the rails similar to a lock-on, and the cam plate rests in a slot on the baseplate, and is pressed up against the rails.

I suppose the  center of the cam plate assembly could be fastened to the fastrack plastic base...to make the Giraffe work, but the Tell-Tale pole will need another assembly to be installed.
