One of my go to tools as I am getting older is an Optivisor. I have tried other magnifiers and glasses but find my favorite is still my old Optivisor. I also find I need more light for doing fine detail work and have tried many different work lights as well but they often get in the way, so one day while in a Home Depot I ran across a small LED light with a clip. I purchased one and figured out a way to mount it to the Optivisor without making any holes. A simple Binder Clip from the Office Supply store made a perfect clamp.

Container Cranes

I've been looking thru LOTS of container crane images recently,...specifically HO scale, and specifically railroad car loading ones. I have some specific requirements I am seeking for my two container handling areas, but I thought it might be interesting to see what other models (commercially available, kit-bashed, custom built) might be presented, and the reasons for those preferences.

I am trying to locate replacement wheels for my older IHC tender that  and will pick-up track power to run  engine on Code 83 track. Current wheel sets bounce when and de-rail when entering turnouts. Suggestions and Manufacturer and product number would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
