Thanks Arnold. Like you just mentioned, the animated newstand is another one that I have on it's own transformer. And just to clarify: I'm using very old, very tiny Marx type transformers.
I also have the 264 forklift platform. I always loved it, bought one many years ago, just don't have anywhere to put it!
For anyone that's interested: It took some adjustments to get the barrels to load and unload properly. I detailed those in another post on OGR somewhere.
