In 1998 while in Omaha, Nebraska, a local hobby shop had a powered Walther's rotary dumper on display. You could push a button like the KD coupler display, and a train would push a car into the dumper, the clamps would come down and hold the car, and the dumper would rotate. When I asked the owner what kind of brand of coal car had the rotary coupler he said that he had had a number of special Kadee couplers made especially for him (didn't ask who made them for him) so that they rotated like the ones referenced further up in this thread. I don't know if that hobby shop is still around or if it still has any of the special coupers. <br /> I too asked Kadee at the NMRA Convention about rotary dump couplers and got the same answer--when someone puts out a rotary dumper and there's an economically viable number of sales then they'll be happy to produce them.
