    Description

    Up for sale is a vintage postwar Lionel 264 Fork Lift Platform.  Included is a #90 Controller and 5 bonus timbers.
    EXTERNAL:
    The accessory is in very good condition with some usage scuffing and light oxidation (See Pics).  I have included 5 bonus timbers that rest on the brown plastic platform.  They are held in place by 4 small fragile nubs.  One of the nubs has been repaired (See Pic).  All 4 nubs must be in place or the timbers will fall off due to the vibration that the vibra motor generates.  The fork lift works great and the original man has not been glued.  This accessory can be used with both 027 and O gauge tubular track.
    NOTE:  O GAUGE TRACK HAS SLIGHTLY WIDER TIES THAN 027 GAUGE THAT HOLD THE TRACK RAILS TOGETHER.   WHEN IT "BUTTS-UP" TO THE ACCESSORY THE FORKLIFT CANNOT REACH THE 6TH TIMBER TO REMOVE IT FROM THE FLATCAR.  IF USING O GAUGE TRACK AND YOU WANT ALL 6 TIMBERS TO BE REMOVED, YOU WILL HAVE TO GRIND A LITTLE OFF THE TRACK TIES THAT FACE THE ACCESSORY.  I HAVE 3 OF THESE PLATFORMS AND THEY ALL WILL NOT REACH THE 6TH TIMBER UNLESS THE TRACK TIE IS MODIFIED.
    INTERNAL:
    Underneath the brown platform the accessory is clean.  I replaced the Drive Spring / Drive Line / Drive Line Eyelet.  The spring tension is optimally set so that the unit operates smoothly without excessive chatter and vibration.  The buffer spring tension has also been optimally set.
    This accessory is ready-to-run with no further cleanup or maintenance required.
