Coal Trans Loader, Great Lakes Style.

Cool to this still in use, but I have to say, the ramp that changes the cars direction looks like it fits more on an old HO scale layout than a real working dock! Ill bet that push's the trucks Bolster to there limit! :hehe:

Very god vid quality though!

It looks like we posted the same video!

That does look like a model. Imagine building that in styrene, let along in 3d!

Within 30 minutes no less! :hehe: Building that would be a task I'm sure, and not one I'm capable of taking on. would be fun to operate though.

You know the old saying. Great minds think alike.

This would be one heck of a model to make and same here my patience for the project is way too short to put a kit together like that digital or not.

Do you know about the version that escd84 included (within the limitations of Trainz) on his NS Sandusky District route?

It doesn't have the auto feed or wagon tipper admittedly, but it is still a very impressive piece of work that operates semi-automatically. The cars are automatically uncoupled in the coal-dump then run down and back and are switched into the recieving yard.

Cheers,
Piere.

Yes, I spent a lot of time enjoying this route. The loader is amazing work.

Yes, I have as well. Christian did a great job getting this work within the confines we have with Trainz.
