I “motorized” the Lionel 460 Piggy Back Transportation Set from 1955-57 & 1961. The set originally had manually operated controls for lifting and rotating the forklift. I didn’t have room on my layout for the footprint of the platform, so I cut off the ramps and manual controls. I used two 10 RPM miniature geared motors and pushbuttons for CW, CCW and Up-Down.

There HAS GOT TO BE to be an article about this one! [:D][tup]
Well done, Sir. Very creative and smooth running. Lionel would have done well to have offered this. The kids would love the operation.
Cool. Did you happen to take any pictures while you were converting it?
