Once again, OGR, Gunrunner John, Susan, and others have shown why being on this forum is so valuable. I recently had the opportunity to get a special Lionel Intermodal Crane, 6-12741, made and lettered for the Modesto and Empire Traction Company. My friend on the railroad explained it wasn't working, but it is such a beautiful piece I thought it would be good "scenery" on a module. With the help of this thread, this afternoon I restored it to working order. Thank you all very, very much. I'll save the photos for February 4 and 5, when it will be on my module at the National Capital Trackers layout at the Great Scale Train Show, Maryland State Fairgrounds, Timonium, MD. Show information can be found here.
