[itginternet]

can you build me one of these? 

[MrkmTrainFAN]

That is simply brilliant!!

[mcelfresh327]

Way to cool! If you don't mind me asking, did you make for buy that wicked machine?! I also loved your graded switch-back. Amazing layout, great job!

[m301]

Was this the same duper that was at the Metropolitan Train Club, also in Jersey ?

[smsw1516]

thats a nice set up you got there. excellent work on the coal dumper. And i see that use used a prototypical train with the flat car coming in between the hoppers and the locomotive. Keep up the good work! please watch my video!

[aeroblack78]

che spettacolo....complimenti!!!!!­!

[mrbluenun]

Very impressed with this wonderful Model! Attention to detail is amazing.

I have never seen a 'switch-back' track like that, very clever.

[trainfenatic]

Thats awesome. Very time consuming to built, but worth the price.

[NSmodeler24]

I am also working on a layout that will have coal which is loaded and dumped from the cars.. what did you use for the coal? Ime trying to find something that wont create much dust but is also realistic looking

[gscrr]

@NSmodeler24 It's just the coal that you can get from any scenery company (I think it was Woodland Scenics, but I'm not sure). After you dump for a while, you just have to filter out the fine dust. We re-use the dust as ground cover in other places on the layout.

[protomodelsdotcom]

@NSmodeler24 Try sand blasters coal material. It's used to strip paint and dirt off of bricks and metal. Many paint shops have it. You can also get it at many auto supply stores.

[Milton0181]

This is too cool!

[N198612]

Ostia! Es extraordinario de como has trabajado en la maqueta, 5* y más que eso.

[12345senoj]

that is awsome!!! how much did that cost?!

[gscrr]

@12345senoj I'm not sure of the total cost, it was build from plastruct girders, plastic garage sale signs and bits of old kits.

[luccaopa]

respectable, very impressive

[limosalimosa]

nice but wasn't this built for gondolas? why would you use such a set-up if you can just open the hopper doors?

[gscrr]

@limosalimosa Speed. You can fully empty a hopper quicker from the big opening at the top than from the smaller openings on the bottom. The quicker you can empty the car, the more cars you can process in an hour (even back then).

[limosalimosa]

@gscrr - Sounds incredible - I can imagine a speed difference of at most half a minute, but yes given the volumes those 30 seconds easily add up. Do you know how many were unloaded on a typical day?

[donsgotmoney]

@gscrr This the way coal is emptied at the electrical plants that use it for powering. I know its the way its done at plant Shearer in Juliette Ga.

[SaberTanker22]

That the best looking cool unloader ever in HO awesome 5 stars. i would never think of building this just a simple coal tower kit lol. do you have any plan's online to show us how to build one =)

[060Saddletank]

A true inspirational model! Would love to see it, and work out how it all works. Fantastically realistic.

[RJBailey]

That is so COOL! ^_^

[js4653]

That's amazing. I just visited the McMyler in Port Reading last week, and when I was there I had no idea of what I was looking at or how it worked. Now not only do I know, but I got to see how it worked as well. Great modeling job.

[PaisteLover]

Awesome!!!!

[48alfaone]

Fantastic!!

[axlejeffhenry]

love it

[LeeBCS]

how did you build the coal dump

[sort187]

Helluva lot more complicated than a standard rotary dumper.....coolest thing I've ever seen for a model railroad.

[FireAce44]

Nice! What keeps the car tied to the track? Lookin to build something here shortly.

[johnjeffrey100]

totaly awesome...great job..

[karelfromholland]

I've never seen anything like it. It's beautiful.

Try : treinbaan 042

[choirboyfromhell1]

Wonderful model. We still have one of these operating at Sandusky, Ohio for Norfolk Southern.

[svinehunden]

awesome machine...)

[DrWeed1975]

Very amazing!!,Should get a lot of hours of works on that.

[pallo232]

not cheap tho!

[ginge294]

this is the best layout i have ever seen and trust me i have seen loads

[superjono2]

Great model, absolutely fantastic, but I think you need speed retarders to slow the empties!

[tharp78]

massive counter

[usra060]

Too cool. 5 stars!

[95predator]

weird but beautiful!!!

[ac0catenary]

man .. that is a great job of modeling !!!

[RyanSamuelBarry]

awesome

[poplock1963]

GREAT JOB.TRUE CRAFTSMAN.5 STARS.

[arrowguy173]

By far the best scratchbuilt accessory I have seen in 30+ years of modeling. Fantastic job.

[XZombieKillerX814]

there was 2 of the dumper in so amboy service by cnj because my grand father work there just the i remember them 2

[RobDavisUnadorned]

The CNJ had two dumpers in Jersey City and the PRR had two dumpers in South Amboy. We had a club member who worked the South Amboy dumpers help us out planning the model.

[rhbeadlejr]

Effing FANTASTIC!

[ryanakin123]

I'm a McMyler, never seen the dumper before though, well done.

[nashu7979]

i mean barge!

[digimaks]

I'm sure the barge is not having a flat bottom, instead would have a tubing that would let the coal seep into some bin under the layout...

[nashu7979]

hey that was my great great uncle who invented that. cleveland ohio here! but what i want to know is how did they get cole out of the ship!!!

[timstime1970]

Back in the day they used a steam shovel to scoop the coal out of the barges..

[nardp96]

how much did it cost?

[coltonfelton]

Thats cooler that a witches tit!

[ratty562]

that was cool thanks for uploading it

[JohnPW22]

Amazing! Well done!!

[idiamindandan]

Amazing piece of work. Wish I had the skills to build something like that

[ERIELACKU34CH]

your skills are exceptional

[ohiosouthern]

VERY COOL.

[liobeking]

You are een artist.

Well done!

[Kayla5241]

i work at cxs toledo docks in ohio, we had three coal dumpers at our facility that were brownhoist dumpers. they have long since been torn down,but we have a belt machine that loads 6000 ton an hour. but the old riggs were the most fun to operate.

[FlyBikes089]

COOOOOOOOL AWESOME!

[cogi215]

That was so cool too see. My late grandfather use too operate the coal dumper in Port Reading. Thanks for the video

[rrhobby]

Why would you build a dirty filthy coal dumper...Just kidding! An absolute credit to your model engineering ability and to have the time and patience to construct that, I hope it is willed to a museum somewhere so the future public can enjoy a piece of history recreated in miniature. Merv Schultz R.I.P. another great modeler would have loved to have seen it.

[silversides047]

That is Awesome, Fantastic!! You are an absolute Genius to be able to build a working model of that magnitude. Thanks for sharing it.

Daniel M.

[dennyk22]

You did an excellent job recreating. I worked on the barges that were loaded in Port Reading and what you created was just the way it was except for the coal dust in the air. We just were at Port Reading and took pictures of the Dumper but could not get close.

[Conrail6370]

Wow! That was so neat. I have real Reading Company Blue Prints of an real dumper used in Port Richmon Yard, back in the early 1920's. Now to see one work, that was great!

Len.

[renkn]

Cool!!!!!

Thanks

Living in South Amboy I would all ways look out

at our coal docks and wonder what it was

like to see those machine work.

[CavoriteProductions]

I really didn't need to see this! I've got enough projects to do on my layout as it is! That loader is absolutely TOO KEWL!

[jasmonthgt]

That is the most realisting operating model railroad accessory I've ever seen

[gscrr]

We're working on the follow-up video of how our dumper operates. It should be ready by September. Stop back then for more....

[C628]

Can we see this in person?

[gscrr]

Sure you can see it. We're having our open house the last two weekends of October. Stop by the website for more show details (link on our main youtube page).

[NTCGRR]

That is sooooo COOL, thanks for sharing. And thats coming from an outdoor modelRRer.
