When I was a child, I used to watch a rotary dumper (or whatever it's called) unloading coal cars for hoursat the local power plant in Philo, Ohio. It would grab the car, and turn it upside-down. The coal fell through a grating onto a conveyor belt, which lifted it into the plant for crushing. In the winter, when it had rained or snowed on the coal and frozen it, workers would have to go under the dumper with big spudbars to break the clumps that were too large for the grating. My question: Has anyone ever made a kit or model for this eqipment in N scale? If not has anyone ever published the plans for one to scratch-build? Thanks,folks!
