Reply to "Problem with lionel oil drum loader"

I had the same problem with mine and came up with a solution that works 100 percent.  As the drum tilts into the loader it will slip on the bottom and instead of standing up in the loader, it will lay down and fall off.  To cure this problem, glue a small round piece of sandpaper into the bottom of the loader.  So now, as the drum tilts and slides into the loader, it won't slip and will stand up.

Here is a video of my loader in action.  It's a fun action accessory!
