K-Line K42402 Operating Fisherman on Trestle

Yes I have one however I have never hooked it up and I am at least 1 year to get the track installed to permit its use.

I found one on Ebay last night and made the purchase.  $48.00 plus shipping.  Came to about $60.00.  All the rest listed there were over $100.00.  All listed as new so I took the plunge.  The nice thing about this accessory is that while I await my daughter's stuff to be removed from the attic, which awaits here finding a house, so i can start my layout, it can be displayed and operated anywhere.  That'll be another hurtle, as SWMBO is gestapo of real estate in the house.....LOL

Dan - did ever get the operating fisherman on trestle up and running?

Saw one on eBay and I wondered how it works.

Please post a picture or video.

It's still in the box.  I took it out to inspect it, when I received it, but haven't even tried to test it yet.  Still waiting for my daughter's stuff to be gone from the attic so I can build my permanent layout.

I did a search on Youtube for a video of it, but couldn't find one.

Thanks - the eBay auction was an old one, doesn't look like there are any active auctions.

Jeez, Dan, the idea of an operating or animated fisherman is very appealing after modeling water on my layout, which I recently did. Thanks for giving me the idea.

I do have a couple of non-operating fishermen figures:

The best would be an operating fly fisherman. LOL, Arnold

A few pictures from the internet for those of you who might have never seen the accessory.
