Here's the information that Lionel didn't tell you about how to make the Creamy Hot Chocolate Car work. This is a complete review and demonstration of Lionel's new Polar Express Creamy Hot Chocolate Car with Platform.
Lionel's website says that you need a special track section to operate the Hot Chocolate Car. The only problem is that Lionel tells you to order the wrong item. The SKU number that Lionel lists is 612020. However, that's the uncoupling track section. The correct part number is 612054 - Operating Track.
The Lionel website listing for the Operating Track Section also omits another important feature: The sides of this FasTrack section snap off. By snapping off the side next to the platform, the track will fit close enough to the platform for the Hot Cocoa cans to slide out onto the platform when the unload switch is pressed.
The Operating Track Section has five rails instead of the usual three rails. The additional two rails make electrical connections with two pick-ups under the Creamy Hot Chocolate Car. When the "unload" button is pushed on the controller, a figure inside the car pushed a hot cocoa can out through the doors and onto the platform. Seven hot cocoa cans are included with the Creamy Hot Chocolate Car.
Before the Car can be operated, the seven cans must be loaded into the internal mechanism through a door on the roof. After the cans are loaded, it's important to avoid tipping or shaking the Car. Doing so may cause the cans to become jammed in the mechanism.
When installing the platform, be sure that the platform and the Operating Track are level. If the platform isn't level, it may either be too far away from the doors of the Car to reach it, or the edge of the platform may impede the locomotive and train cars from passing.
After installing the Operating Track and platform, I move on to demonstrating it in action.
The Creamy Hot Chocolate Car is a great addition to my Polar Express rolling stock. I'm enthusiastic about this new railcar. It works well.
Lionel's online store is sold-out on this item. However, I checked with three of Lionel's authorized dealers, and all three had the Creamy Hot Chocolate Car in stock.
