Double gratuity? Not in this economy.

Yeah, but the tips are half the normal size, so it all washes out in the end.
Kids today and their big specialized molds
I have nearly all Lego trains, but this goes too far down the memory lane for me ;).
Nobody tell Jabbo about this.

Me too!
I don't have the 'Double Tipper' but do have 3 of the earlier 125 Tipping Wagons!

Though that does make me wonder what alternate uses you could dream up for those tipper pieces. Armour pieces on a mech?

The tipper end pieces were pretty specialised at the time!
This set was never released in Europe, as tipping isn't considered necessary here.

And the train base was "one" big part, with pre-installed magnets and axles.
