I would be interested in exact measurements of this dumper, I would love to scratch build one in N Scale, but I have nothing to go by.

Oh wow that is really interesting! I can imagine it's not a cake walk to do it yourself, but given experience you are good at it. I can see you having to go forward and backward to get it just right. Thanks for sharing! I didn't even know positioners existed until seeing your vids! I assumed locomotives did all the work. Coal Handlers are under-rated!

I wonder if you can get those rotary couplers in N scale.

That's sofa king cool!

Really that that wonderful! I cannot believe that! So that cool! And do you will have any new video for unloading of coal? And I want give you get full of star rating (THUMB UP!) :)

great vantage ! always wanted to see this. also nice positioner vids. so they don't even need the locomotives to do anything, seems like that would be much easier than having the engineer move ahead two cars at a time, it would be tuff to do.

@iRECKONER ~~~ Reckoner, when the train first enters the "dumper barrell" I have to use locomotive power to manually position the first 5 to 10 cars (depending on what the coal yard men desire), then they let their machinery do the positioning. When the positioning winch is broke down, I actually position each and every one of the the 125 cars myself, with the "coal handlers" (the title of the power plant men who work with coal, in the "coal yard") giving me directions via radio

Wow....I never really knew what Rotary couplers meant.....but now i know....and why one certain end of the car is painted to inform as to which side has the rotary :)...Neat!!!

@7674Princess Yes, you don't want two unpainted ends together when you are dumping, or one of the drawbars will be twisted off and then the "excrement hits the air moving device", if you know what I mean.........!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! But how iself uncoupled then let rolling let unloading of coal then back and conncet couples on other cars! But where is brakeman!!!!??!?

The process is automatic. The cars aren't uncoupled from each other. By way of the rotary coupler they rotate between each other in that big yellow barrel. Pretty smooth operation
