Found this in a garage sale

Agree.  Looking up one thing leads to another and another; it gets addictive and all of a sudden, 2 hours later...

And then huge accumulation of links and trying to form those links into folders to be able to find a specific link in the future. lol

Intriguing. I imagine it didn't do much for tire wear But honestly, a remotely operated automatic cow-loading device: how on earth didn't I guess!

These sets were toys. Not meant to be used very much.

One downside of a Google search, you can easily get sidetracked. Sometimes find stuff you wish you did not find? lol

I get a kick out of findind stuff like this. It goes to show how much we have advanced in 20yrs.

I have to say we all play with toy's, just some cost more than others.

Those accessories run by the loco's wheels look to me like things which only work
for a short while and when everything is meticulously aligned.

It also looks like a good way to put excessive wear on a loco's motor.

S.R. bring up a good point; does the loco need to have traction tires to move the dial and work this device?

That device is very interesting! I have never seen anything like that in H.O. before.
I am mainly into O gauge and that video on U-tube was very good showing how the device was used. Now for the details on how it works, or how to transfer the power to the operating devices.

I find it strange that this thing does not contain its own electric motor.  Would it then require that the car being loaded remain a fixed distance from the loco?

Maybe it could contain a solenoid-powered cow chucker, that could feed cows from a spring-loaded cow magazine.
