Hello, I am new to these forums but not to Lionel Trains.  My main interest is large scale.  I have an extensive garden railway.   I like to recreate operating accessories and rolling stock in the larger scale.

While on Youtube, last night, I saw a film about the various milk car releases from Lionel.  The last portion of the film shows a still photo of the K-Line milk car and loading depot, #s 703-8011 and 42407 respectively.  This pops up at 2:45 in the video.  I've done a search of Lionel's and K-Line's sites and cannot find the loading depot, nor can I find any videos of it in operation.

Was the loading depot ever produced.  

 

Here are some of the operating items I've made.

K-Line produced items for a long time. Unfortunately, their was a law suit between Lionel and K-Line which resulted in K-Line shutting down and Lionel eventually took them over (not sure exactly when that happened). Dealers that had original KLine stock were allowed to sell it off, (I got my K-Line TMCC PRR K4 that way) all their inventory. Much it went. If you Google the items you want, If I recall a website will pop up with a catalog list that you can thumb through. Not much help, that is the history at a high level and from what I can remember.
