One of the most fascinating train accessories ever made, unlike anything yet seen in model railroading! When you press remote control button, Louie the Loader picks up barrel from ramp with his 3-wheel lift truck, takes it over to the waiting car on the track (not included with accessory) and dumps barrel before returning to the ramp for another load. Action is continuous and entirely automatic; nothing to get out of order. Tender's shack conceals electric motor which provides power. Includes single button control and quantity of barrels. Dimensions: 8 3/4” x 8 1/2” x 5 1”/2 high.
