TALES OF THE DOCKSIDER

Your Yardmaster got an earful of words he can’t post about shop switcher X-8688 and her crew getting another Saturday off, so she is on duty today switching the scrap yard. Towering over X-8688 is a venerable Lionel 282R Gantry Crane, which has run reliably since 1958.

I’m sure there will be dissenters out there, but - in my opinion- the crane is the greatest accessory ever produced by Lionel. Not only is it interesting to watch, it takes some practice and skill to manipulate the operating levers and run it smoothly. I find it far more satisfying than just pushing a button.

I’m enjoying all your posts as usual and hope you guys will be able to spend a nice day with Mom tomorrow!

John
