Oil Drum Loader
This is one of those accessories that works extremely well. It's quiet ! The fork lift moves smoothly around the shed picking up and unloading the barrels without a hiccup each time. I had one of these when the were released back in the early '80s. This one has lights which the earlier model did not have.
Hookup is straight forward. The forklift can be operated at varying power levels, which also makes the oil drum loader a step above some other Lionel accessories. The oil drum loader was originally produced by American Flyer in the 1950s.
