NJ International now makes them. Bet they are a lot more costly than when Tyco had them . http://www.njinternational.com/railroad.htmScordicus, They were made by Tyco for several years back in the sixties I believe. I've several on my layout, and they work quite nice in low light ! Joe

Bob, Yes they are the cox dockside cranes. I painted one yellow as you can see and left the other blue. One has the cpmplete dock set with acces., the other not. I have no further use for them as I retired I've replaced them with two Heljans, ( they are really sweet ) ! If you've use for them or one let me know !
Someone did say, "...or small," didn't they.

The colored lines are floquil paint. I did the upper part of the freight yard panel that controls engine yard #2 and the ADM plant that we added about 10 years ago. The rest of both panels was done by the owner Carl when I was about 10, and I'll be 50 in a few months. If you look closely you can see the brass pins that we use to throw the twin coil switch machines for the turnouts. There are probes that you touch to the brass pins to set your route thru the yard.'
Doug, amazing work there, mate. Tell me, what product did you use for the colored lines on the switch panel?
