This operating car is controlled via an external button interface and the use of a track trip. When the button is pressed, the side panel opens up, and the entire body tilts over to that side, thereby unloading everything that it contains. The car came with a 4" x 6" metal tray with raised edges which would catch whatever the car dumped. The car was produced from 1961 through 1964 in only one variation. It was identical to the #25025 (other than the car number) in terms of its operation and included accessories, but it also came with a section of #26700 straight track and four #26342 Adapter Pins (to allow the #26700 track to be installed in a Pike-Master track layout).
