Linda,

Thank you very much for your feedback re coal transfer.

Here`s some suggestions or thoughts.
1. Could the lower"Loading track" be set to a lower elevation so the standard gauge hoppers would fit below the chutes. Also the "Lower loading" track would of course need to be moved further away-from the structure.
2. The hopper cars I am using are"Coal 2Bay Op CN".
A. Minimum clearance track center to structure track-side is Eight feet.
B. Average car with is Ten feet.*
C. Overhead clearance is twenty two feet.

*Therefore one half width equals Five feet, Then Eight feet minus Five feet
leaves Three feet clearance for the chute. I would suggest using Two
feet as a good compromise so the distance from center line of standard
gauge track to the structure would be Seven feet plus or minus.

D. the elevation from the chute to the "Lower track" is about seventeen
feet plus od minus.
E. I am using "AGS track(single).

I hope this helps out if you want to make the necessary changes.
Please have a good day.

Richard

Hello Richard,

For what it is worth, the bin is now available from the DLS, and hopefully in a few days also will be found on the TPR download depot.

KUID number is: [FONT=Verdana, Arial]77573:241581:1
Name is: [/FONT]NG36-SG Coal Transfer (4bins)
TRS2004 onward

I hope this will be of use to you, and I hope that this will fit the setting you needed it for.
Let me know if there is anything I need to change.

It still uses the same track item, the invisible track, but the bottom, standard gauge track. will change into whatever you connect to it - while the upper track is modeled into the old style NG36 track I used on my old track.
Have fun with it.

Sorry it took so long, but I'm not very active in Trainz modeling anymore.

Best wishes

Linda
