Outstanding video! You made my day. I have the, HO scale Union Pacific one and you gave me an excellent idea by watching your video. Thank you and happy railroading!!!! Gary Watertown, NY

Do these come in N-Scale?

[@curraheewolf]

@@scotthayes5933 I don't know. You would have to go on Walthers web site and/or do some research. Good luck!!!

[@iggyjill]

its a electrocmagnet the thick black line in the middle going in a angle is the power supply. The power is connected from the cranes motor. The operator turns it off and on from the cab.

Nice recording.

Montana. I tried to use the map feature and post it on Google Maps, but I guess I don't know how it works.

[@gregtennant]

I don't know for sure whether it's a one-man operation, but it does look like it, doesn't it? Quite a rig to drive all by yourself.

I'd hate to be a curious bystander on the side of the track *WHACK* -- giant magnet to the head.

[@tryithere]

I know they are using it safely here but that looks like an accodent waiting to happen.

[@theultimatehunt]

What an interesting job this would be. Ride a train, and use powerful magnets.

[@gregtennant]

I couldn't tell you if it's direct current. I just saw it working there on the tracks when I came by and I started taking pictures.

[@dhiruj]

hi nice application... where is this???

[@SperanskyAA]
