hi, i was putting together a freight train, this morning, and picked up a tipper wagon to add to train. Its weight came as a total surprise. On closer inspection, underneath is an electrical gismo, and if you move it, the tipper not only goes up, but one side opens. Its a grey tipper on black base. Anyone know how it works, etc. I can find no make or number on it, It came with a recently acquired batch of Dublo, and Trix, but has hornby normal coupling, eg, not 3 rail. Would love to have it performing. No good asking for photo, as cannot understand how to add one. john

Hornby do a (or did) R8132 tipping wagon set with a sort of tipping lift which tipped the whole wagon on its end. May be it is from that set made be Hornby.

John, can you google oo gauge tipping truck and post a link to yours [assuming you find it]? Very difficult without an image. Don't bother embedding the link just copy it and paste it here. R-
