I have been working on an operational coal flood loader like the type they have in Wyoming. The model loads the exact amount of coal needed to fill a coal car and makes the load look like the real thing. I have figured out how to move the cars through at a very slow pace just like the prototypes (~1.5 mph). Unfortunately I have not figured out how to do it with the locomotives still attached. I will be having shots on a website that I want to dedicate to this type of stuff. I also have the workings of a rotary dumper to unload the cars at a place such as a power plant. It is handmade out of stainless steel and is very smooth. I have taken a break from the modeling as the summer months provide plenty of outdoor stuff to do. I will be going back to the fun stuff soon. <br />(brl@tznet.com)
