I somehow stumbled onto this old tin lithographed toy Coal Loader made by Wyandotte (perhaps in the 1940's - 1960's timeframe). Although it doesn't seem to have been marketed as a toy train accessory, it works perfectly with my Marx and Hafner windup and electric trains. It is a very clever mechanism that automatically loads marbles into trucks or freight gondolas.

Here is a video of all the loading action.

Great videos everyone!  Here's a video I took a little while ago of my first running session on the new layout. Since this video I have been working on expanding the inner loop and am working on changing the outer loop to a minimum curve of O-42 instead of O-31. After that I have a lot of scenery work to do. I also have to wire up my lighted towers and other accessories then clean all the tracks. Hopefully all the wiring and cleaning will be done by next weekend.
