Post war Lionel culvert loader and unloader

This is what broke.

Check with Chuck Startor  here on the forum. He's very good

I sent him an email, thanks

Thanks for the suggestion! I sent it to chuck and it is all good now. Of course when I got it back, the motor decided to quit on me. Chuck was great and had another motor he shipped me. Then, I installed the new motor and he helped me make some final adjustments. Now it seems to be up and running great. I can’t believe the condition too, got a great set. Finally got a small display shelf going.

When this pair of action accessory works reliably, it's one of Lionel's best! I have a pair on my layout, and they work very well. Only occasionally does the loader drop a culvert on the rim (not the tray) of the waiting gondola.  My "five finger adjustment" is to slightly push the O gauge tubular track section of the siding alongside the accessory just a little bit to the outside. That slight movement of the track also moves the car and does the trick!
