While experimenting with the red container grabber as used in 4555
I noticed that the holes for the black rubber are the same size as
a stud. I have now modified one so that it has grab arms that can lift
and load my grey piggyback trailers onto the rail wagons.
I am in the process of building a large container terminal. A good
reference book put out by the publisher of Model Railroader magazine
is " The Model Railroader's Guide to Intermodal Equipment & Operation"
by Jeff Wilson (Kalmbach Books)
