Another great day at York.
Perfect Weather, Parking lot was packed. Tons of people.
Check out my video on my latest acquisition's!

Joe,
Fantastic video land layout!
Sorry to bother you, but in the intro to the video, you show a forklift truck that is unstacking a rack of lumber and restacking it to the side. Who makes that please, and what is it called?
Thanks,
Mannyrock
Mannyrock, I thought I’d jump in here and mention it’s a Lionel 264 Operating fork lift platform, made from 1957 to 1960. It came with the special flatcar and lumber.
Thanks Artie,
Seems like every accessory I like is no longer made.

It is Lionel's. #264 Forklift was original Postwar number.
Lionel did a modern reissue which runs smoother with a can motor which is what I have. #6-14000

It was a pleasure to meet you Peter. The breakfast was great and I will be there from now on at every York.
It was a great show!
Sean, I watched your video on youtube about the Zephyr you purchased. I have that set as well. It is awesome. One of my favorites. 2 things......Have you considered adding more passengers. If so, any idea how to open these cars? Did you know if you press aux 2 and then the horn, you get a different horn (I think I remember that) (have not run mine in a while)

I have not looked into adding passengers. Usually if they have any passengers in them I leave them as is and don't add more.
But you are correct about the Horn, which I forgot to show in my video! The Horn sound is this same, but it has a "city" horn which is quieter and then a "country" horn which is louder.
To change between horns, you hit Aux1 and then quickly pull down and release horn slider. It will now be the "city" horn every time to blow the horn. Repeat the process to switch it back to the "Country" horn.
It is very cool.
Thank you so much for letting me know I missed that! I will demo it in an upcoming video on the Amtrak Acela set I am doing which has the same feature.
