So update for the suggestion of a crane. A few days ago I bought a pop flat box full of old Marx stuff. Most of it is pretty beat up so I figured I'd use it for projects. In the box was an old Marx Wrecker that had the trucks removed a and replaced with a wooden block.
On to bottom of the Menards Flatcars, there is a hole just big enough to put a woodscrew through. So I attached the block of wood just tight enough to not go anywhere, but still swivel. On the other end, I drilled out two typewriter strikers a bit larger to put a screw through and attached them for stabilizer feet.
Don't mind the miss match roadname... this is umm.. right after Penn Central?
