Descripton: Though produced for the 1975 product line offerings and included in the Dockside Crane,
Conveyor & Freighter Set (#6085) and the Dockside Train And Freighter Set (#6082), the Cargo Ship is not listed as a separate
Accessory until the 1976 COX catalog. This white ship with red stripe carries the name "San Diego" in 1976, while its
name is "Judith Ellen" in 1975's catalog. Not having a sample to review, one might suspect that a sticker sheet was
perhaps provided that included various names for this item.

DOCKSIDE CONVEYOR
Cat No: 6232-3
Descripton: As an Accessory available separately, the Dockside Conveyor is found first among COX's
Trainscape Accessories in 1976. This blue motorized Conveyor used a black vinyl belt that could transport the 20' Containers,
Crates, and Oil Drum Pallets. As it was an electrically operated item, the Dockside Conveyor would have to be wired
to the Accessory terminal of a Power Pack for proper operation. The Conveyor was controlled with a black plastic box that
had a small level on its base. In the 1975 catalog, the Dockside Conveyor is shown with a pair of red wires coming from
it and going into a typical train block or switch control unit.
