#352 Icing Station (6-82028) Loads Ice Outside of Ice Car

Or, the 6-12054:

Has anyone just cut off the beveled edge?

That's what I would do for this accessory.

I raised mine up with a few washers, when pushed up against the edge of the Fastrack it loads the ice without dropping in between the platform and the car.

I had the ice station working perfectly with fastrack.  I took that area apart about 4 months ago, but I believe I just took the edge off the track as indicated in Rob's picture.

@ADCX Rob - First one won't work as the edge of the Incing Station that goes beside the track is 11 inches long.

The second one will work, but will have to buy 2 due to length of Icing Station. Or cut the beveled edge off 2 FasTrack pieces.

@chabs - Hmmm. That's an idea. I haven't built my layout yet so time for some testing based upon your suggestion.

Mine is a pretty old ice station (95ish) I drilled out the rivets for the arms that went under the tubular track. I just looked at and I used one washer under each corner, raised it maybe 1/16th of an inch total.

@chabs - Don't know about that one, but on mine the "tabs" for tubular track can be swung out of the way when using FasTrack.
