Picked up an MTH station with the disapearing people.  Man, when one button pressed, those poor seated people get a fast ride up and their faces bashed into the station roof underside.  When the other button is pressed, they get a backward ride and slammed back into their station benches!  Ouch!

This is a neat accessory but when the train blocks the view to the station platform the catapult action is disguised. Like other products that they made, MTH may have only run this accessory once. 

     With the station people down, I point out to my grandson the people are waiting for the train. As the passenger train pulls into the station, the view is blocked and if you are sneaky enough, you can hit the switch and when the train leaves, there are no people. Now, you know he is going to ask the question. " pop, where did the people go?. " The only answer is " They got on the train. " Simple to us. Amazing to them.  Keep em interested in Model railroading.
