I am just getting into trains again, since my childhood. When I was young one of the things I loved was operational systems, like log loading or unloading. Now I am getting into it again, yet due to space concerns I will be working in N scale. The question I have is this, are there accessories that actually work, like loading or unloading for N scale, or has anyone made working models? Planning on a 2x4 layout, but would love to have more action than just the trains.
Thanks

in n scale i think those will be even rarer. but you always can build your own. crane unloading inter modal containers or trailers for example.

Walthers is the only site that comes to mind rite off. They have working items such as Side dump for loads and also a working Oil rig and probably more
Hope that helps and if I can think of others I will post back again

I will have to check out walthers, I did find that Fallers makes some, a coal tipping platform, a merry go round and a ferris wheel. I do not want to make a county fair, but coal may work. Thanks and keep em coming!
