Sorry for adding to such an old topic, its been about five years.
I think I remember why I have this piece. As I recall when I was VERY young my
parents gave my sister and I two identical sets of red cars, 6 stud wide. If I
am not mistaken it is a fire truck and the little plastic pieces here are used
to connect an addition little carriage to the back. Probably a pump or something
that was supported by this piece and resting on two wheels.
I can only say I have no surviving plans for building this set, and do not
remember having had them for long. I put this anomaly down to my mother being so
overprotective back in the day that she would collect the plans once my sister
and I were done making and playing with the featured models and then she would
put them in a clear plastic binder and put that in a folder.
However good my mother thought she was doing she often misplaces stuff, And
since then I have only found the folder with the plans for *most* of the 4.5V
trains (blue rails) including the 126 black locomotive and the blue passenger
carriage and yellow Shell carriage. I have no plans for the railroad crossing
but I suspect that one was so simple one could look at the picture on the box to
see how to use it.
That is all.
