Here is a Li 1 l 97 Vintage O Operating Coal Elevator Loader from 1946-50. This classic accessory provides both loading and unloading action. When set between 2 parallel tracks, an operating dump carlike a 3559 or 3469 dumps its coal load into the bin on the front scoop of the 97. Then the chain buckets lift the coal into the building atop the tower. Then a button is pushed which opens a door in the floor of the house and releases the coal out a chute and the coal is loaded into a car waiting on the track in the back of the 97. Includes a modern replacement control button. Other cars, accessories and books available. Long time collector and TCA member starting to downsize. Call 609-954-3353 between 9 am and 9 pm.
