I want to make a operational coal layout in ho scale?What I would like to know is do they make a hopper car that really does dump the coal.I am having trouble finding anything on the internet that sell a hopper car that dumps the load that they have.Can you make one?Does Model Railroader Mag. have an article on how to make one if so what year and what month would it be in.I bought the book ho railroad from start to finishit has in it a automatic dumping hopper car.It looks like the car is pushed up to a bumper and that trips a spring that opens the hopper doors but that is as far as they go.Please help.If you could show a website or some info on the internet I would love it <br /> <br /> Thanks Barent
