I'm making a 2x7ft diarama/layout and the focus it will be a modern(post 1970?) Appalachian Coal Loader such as the one in Myra, KY. Does anyone know of a place that would have info on the I-beam by I-beam construction of one? Since most of the "guts" are covered up by sheet metal siding, the inside construction is pretty much concealed. Info on the discharge chute operation? Any information on the various workings and operations (such as the use for the stradle crane on top) would also be appreciated. Thanks.
