Ran across this neat detail tonight and have already ordered a few for use on my layout, once I get the time to start working on it again. Certainly a detail that you need for your warehouse docks and/or doors. Price is right too: 4 for $4.95

When I operated a forklift our truck dock plates was built into the dock..These locked on the ICC bar of the trailer.
However.
Our rail dock had those type of plates Ed speaks of..These locked in place on the dock and boxcar door guide.
Both details should be added to your docks..Also a two light signal box is needed for each truck dock-green tells the trucker the trailer has been released from the dock while red tells the trucker the trailer is locked to the dock..
