TRAIN TIME: Hornby No. 20 Side Tipping Wagon ca1955-56

Here's the last piece in the short series of M0 Goods Set I've been covering the past few days. This Postwar side tipping wagon with original box was a nice inclusion to the put-together M0 Goods Set and is in very clean condition. Posting these photos made me wonder if Hornby made some form of mechanism to electrically or mechanically tip the bin. Marx made an electric tipper mechanism for its side dump cars and Lionel put solenoids in their side tip cars which were activated by a special track section, so now I'll have to do a little more digging to see if Hornby had something similar. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
