Wonderful! Wonderful! One must wonder about how to drop a gondola off a trestle to unload it =) I am very pleased with your discription of how coal is weighed. I dont think the water is an issue but,.... Are you SURE they dumped the water from the truck before weighing it? I did not want to start a converstation too far off topic but I had to ask. I remember a flat car from a train layout on a show that had a lump of coal about as big as a fist strapped to it (HO Scale flat car) with several "Worker" figures standing about trying to figure out how to get it down the feed chute of the power supply boiler. Tim, I remembered that in the Camp David Area is a National Park near a place called "Cunningham's Falls" and "Camp Greentop" should be what is called the "Kilns" they did not exactly use coal but created Charcoal perhaps this may provide you with some insight. Best of Luck Lee
