Reading the post on past HO sets and their history, there were some pretty good HO accessories from those times. I thought what would look cool scaled up to 'O' gauge/scale.....

This would be cool. Kind of a modern coal loader....

Following a similar principle with the operating boxcar, station guy tosses boxes into the boxcar....

Where does one begin???   Just flipping through the pages of Walthers' annual HO tome/catalog....one can only wish for some magical hobby steroidal thingy.  Begging the HO manufacturers to push the 2X button on their equipment doesn't typically seem to work.  "Not enough demand", "No one could afford it", "Doesn't fit our mission statement", (?), "Too much laser time per kit", "Dies are WAY too expensive for the market size", blah, blah, blah.  

 

"Beam them up-scale, Scotty!"

 

(sigh.)
