Your Stock Car and Corral Platform work on the same voltage as
the train. So, when "spotting" the car at the platform don't turn off
the transformer, but stop the train by putting the locomotive into
"neutral" with the "Direction" control on your transformer.
AFTER THE CAll IS IN POSITION S U DE THE CONTROLLER SWITCH:
The overhead car doors will rise. Platform ra mps will drop to meet the car and the. vibra-
tions of the platform and the cattle trad in the car will send the ·cattle trooping along
the corral passage and into the car.
If you want the cattle to
pass right through the car and
back on. the platform, open
the sliding door in the bad
ef the car. If you want them
to stay in the car slide the
baclt door shut by hand.

edge of base helps the cattle
