Kev,

         I've never seen one of those Loading Docks outside of the '96 catalog.  From what I've heard, they didn't do much of anything, and their high price didn't help sales.

Ok little ones back in school . House is too quiet during the day now. Guess I should start cleaning the basement so I can actually walk all the way around the layout.

HummI can't see my post. Chief's security system must be working. Guess I will try again. I lost my connection so it may of sent it into The Twilight Zone.

Hi guys,
Thought I would try to start the new pot for the Chief. So I thought I had better jump in a bit early.
No wife tonight so I had nothing better to do anyway.
I worked in the train room most of the day installing the Lionel Animated Truck Loading Dock to the lay out.
It is kind of a piece of junk but I got it so I will use it. I had to re-wire it so you could use the lights without the noisy man movement running. I also re-painted it and turned the roof around so you could see the action inside. Once I hooked it up I found out that the on-off switch it came with was no good. So I installed 5 more accessory switches into the main control panel.
I ordered a K-Line semi truck to use with it on SJ's advice. I should see it next week.
Anyway catch you later. Have a nice Labor Day weekend and lets not forget those who fought so we could enjoy it.
