ongratulations on your purchase of the Milk Car and Platform! This car unloads old-
fashioned milk cans at the press of a button. Be sure that you have a Remote-Control Track
section (available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge) to operate the
unloading mechanism.
FasTrack users, we recommend that you use O Gauge Transition Pieces (available
Note!
spearately, 6-12040) to transition to an O Gauge Remote Control Track section.
Installing the platform
T
he figure inside the milk car will unload the cans onto the platform. Follow these steps and
refer to Figure 1 as you install the platform.
1. Add a Remote-Control Track section (available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge or 6-12746
for O-27 gauge) to your layout.
2. Position the platform next to the Remote-Control Track section as illustrated in Figure 1.
You may choose to run the track controller wires under the platform.
3. Install the stamped metal deck so that the floor of the milk car is even with the deck of the
platform. Use the slots in the side of the platform to make the proper alignment. Refer to
Figure 1.
• If you are using an O gauge Remote-Control Track section, insert the tabs on the deck
into the top slots in the platform structure.
• If you are using an O-27 gauge Remote-Control Track section, insert the tabs on the deck
into the bottom slots in the platform structure.
4. Bend down the two tabs after they have been inserted into the appropriate slots. A tight bend,
illustrated in Figure 2, will position the deck so that it does not interfere with the opening
Milk Car doors.
