This is one of Lionels greatest accessories. The 182 includes an electromagnet, the cab rotates left and right, the magnet moves up and down all by remote control. This one is the version with a black smokestack; assumed to be a later production item, probably for only a portion of 1949. The 182 Triple-Action Magnet Crane is an updated version of the prewar 165 Magnetic Crane. Externally, the obvious change — when compared to the 165 — is the addition of a more realistic cab and boom. The 182 used the cab and boom assembly from Lionels then current production crane car — the 2460. The 182 crane is designed to reside next to a section of straight track and can unload metal objects with its electro-magnet.
