A snow remover has 2 of those, so that leaves us 6 to assign to one or more
other train sets. Just to make sure, I'm talking about the following part:
(click on the link to see a picture) http://img.lugnet.com/ld/2878.gif
Another possibility: These are also separatly available as service parts.
Are there any Train Bogie Plates present? http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4092.gif
How many Train Buffer Beams did you find? http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4022.gif
These picture links are a part of the Lugnets Partsref, a catalog of all
LEGO® elements that already have been officially modeled in Ldraw. The main
entrance page to Partsref and some explanation on how to use it, can be
found here: http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/

That leaves us with a bit of a mistery. A Train Bases for 9V trains exist
only as one of the four following types:
Train Base 6 x 16 http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4178.gif
Train Base 6 x 24 http://img.lugnet.com/ld/6584.gif
Train Base 6 x 28 http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4093.gif
Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level http://img.lugnet.com/ld/2972.gif
My first thought was you took a normal Plate for a Train Base by mistake,
but 6x18 is a unkown size for plates also. Are you sure you've
counted/remembered the measurements correctly?

Well, that could only be supporting evidence anyhow.

Take a look at these Partsref sections to help you identify the parts:
Special train parts:
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/vehicle/train/
Doors: (except special 9V train doors, these can be found in the section above)
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/architecture/door/
(for instance part #6546 could be found in some train sets, in the form of
pairs of these doors set in a window frame)
Hinges:

Plates:

I think you're right in assuming that this is not a train part. It's
probably one of these parts: http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/vehicle/car/

The only 9V train that has a forklift is set #4563 "Load N' Haul Railroad"
(see: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4563 ,yet another nice reference), but
that should be supported by a few other easy identify-able parts, such as:
http://img.lugnet.com/ld/1/2873.gif
http://img.lugnet.com/ld/14/2433.gif
The forklift can also have been part of a Town or Harbour set.
So, look as much key items up as you can and get back to us with that
information.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
