@rattler21 posted:About twenty years ago either Lionel or MTH had a passenger platform(under roof) with passengers awaiting the train. When the train departed, all passengers must have boarded as none were on the platform. I have not seen one operate, only saw the catalog listing. Perhaps a Forum member has one. John
Shouldn't be too hard to manage...the train hits a lever (arrows on the side) and the passengers on the platform get dumped into a bin under the platform (out of view behind the train)...something like my crude drawing.
Yes, for now I will not give up my day job to be an engineer...(except a toy train engineer).
